Why have our oligarchs or billionaires devised systems and work cultures of difficult tasks and productive struggle, when our government's documents claim we, all of us, have a right to pursue happiness?

The findings backed up what anecdotes and surveys have increasingly found in recent years: An overreliance on AI for answers erodes our cognitive fitness. When AI produces answers in seconds, we get used to that speed; anything that takes longer feels inefficient. And relying on AI also removes what the team called “productive struggle,” which can lead people to find their research strengths and passions.
