@yaelwrites okay but the title of the original research paper is even more brutal:

@yaelwrites who knew?

I see this play out in real time within the tech industry.

Once a place of strong academic problem solvers and deep thinkers rapidly declining into a haven for mindless prompt monkeys and slop wranglers.

The obvious subtlety being that when people stop thinking it becomes a chore. Over time I see people losing the ability to reason and think deeply. Worryingly this extends beyond hard technical problems and is creeping into everyday decision making.
