🎙️ EP 157: Is AI Making Us Dumb? Or Are We Just Blaming the Wrong Thing?

Everyone’s freaking out that ChatGPT is melting our brains but the truth might be way simpler. A new MIT study says we’re offloading too much thinking to AI. But maybe the real issue is that schools haven’t changed in 90 years.

We’ll talk about:

• Why the “AI is making us dumb” panic feels like déjà vu
• The IQ drop everyone blames on smartphones (and what they’re not telling you)
• Gemini 3’s wild new upgrades in vision, video, and UI understanding
• A $500K Google Hackathon that tests whether we’re all just prompt parrots
