This is /possibly/ part of a long term trend of decreasing human reliance on brainpower.
Brain size doesn't neatly correlate to intelligence, but it's still kind of used as a proxy, over human evolution. It gets bigger for a long time, then starts getting smaller again, starting maybe 20k-3k years ago.
This has been attributed to group size, agriculture, writing or statistical error. So maybe it's not a thing.
I continue to remember phone numbers and birthdays. No Google or Facebook for me and I'm waiting for the AI bubble to pop.
Edit: GPS, I thought you meant Google play services. I do use an offline map on my phone if I'm going to an unfamiliar area but I have no problem reading a map.
The way it’s going…
AI: Happy Birthday! Other notable people who share your birthday: Adolf Hitler, Mussolini, Charlie Kirk, and many more great historical figures you should hope to praise!
I still memorize phone numbers and directions.
In fact, I’ve increased the amount of things I memorize. In addition to the massive amount of usernames and passwords I have to keep in mind, I have credit card and bank routing and account numbers memorized so I can enter payment information on the fly.
How to be human
Some people know telephone numbers, some of us don't. 🤷♂️ What's the big deal, the point is, you should have an alternate method to access your contacts...
How to hard boil eggs.
The internet makes us dumb. Why bother remembering anything when you can just look it up?
Man, I didn't even memorize numbers other than my own house's when cell phones were something only rich businessmen had. I used a phone book.
I will never forget about Dre
Except for those that are closest to us, we never would have remembered any of those things anyway; all of it would have been written down in an address book. Now the address book is digital, and is part of an LLM for some reason (selling your data).
I've honestly been thinking about this a lot lately. I'm not proud of myself.
how for right coherent sentences other people red.
also the ability to research things, a lot of people talk about how good it is at that… and it is, for a quick and dirty intro, but it’s always outdated, incomplete, and inaccurate.
it’s basically only good as a springboard to do real, Natural Intelligence, research…
