Watching a teenager approach their homework, instead of struggling to answer questions they don't know, they ask Gemini. Unfortunately, I think the mental struggle to approach an answer is where much of the learning is. They also miss out on the reward for persistence of seeing things fall together.

It is troubling. It suggests a plateauing of human understanding.

What that means practically is that we've got a generation - 25 years or less - to evolve these things not to need the fallback. If such a thing is possible.

We're on the road to Idiocracy.
