In general I think we should be very cautious about sweeping claims about human intelligence and impairment of cognition. From "cellphones make you stupid" to "LLMs make you stupid", from "coding makes you a genius" to "knowing math makes you a genius." Pushing for absolutisms about human intelligence and human cognition is a toxic pattern that is also so baked into our history and cultural patterns and it plays right into dehumanization for either extreme
