I can't prove it, but I think AI is causing me brain damage

I would guess this is what the managers and PMs had been feeling for all those years while we developers were happy writing our code. I actually feel much more sympathy to my managers now that I'm kind of managing a team of very productive, but very much not brilliant agents. So sad.

AI atrophies the brain. If you don't use a muscle, it atrophies.

You know the solution.
