As a person in my 50s, I find I use AI to augment my thinking rather than supplant. So, I feel AI makes me more productive and possibly a better thinker.
My wife is a school Maths teacher (4 - 10). She observes that many young kids using AI now are losing the ability to think for themselves. But there is a small segment of kids who are becoming "smarter" as they are able to use AI to augment their thinking even as teenagers.
She thinks that heavy AI use from a very early age will create a bigger divergence than currently exists. There will be some kids who will grow up "smarter" than they would have been without AI, but a large majority will go the other way.
Thanks for your note. Interesting perspective and I agree that there could be a class of students and employees who suffer because they don't know how to use AI
