This is by far the biggest concern about AI: the delegation of critical (if not all) thinking to a machine. The blind trusting of the AI-given answer which provides people without the capacity of arguing, distinguishing between fake and real, and find alternative/creative solutions to problems.
At the end this will enhance the social divide even further between the one who use AI as it should be: a tool to delegate redundant and tedious tasks, and the ones who are just seeking fast answers.
AI is truly great. I do believe in it. It will improve the life quality of mankind as much as the industrial revolution did. On the other hand we should keep in mind that it should be a tool to improve our thinking, not to substitute it.
Disclaimer: I am an academic, and I see how the minimum level of student at university level is lowering year by year (P.D. not only due to AI, this is a process that has been going on for years, but this is another type of problem. AI is just speeding up the mental atrophy).

A Brown University economics professor made his final exam in person after suspecting AI-assisted cheating on a take-home midterm. Among those who took the final, the average score fell from 96 to 48, intensifying debate over how universities should regulate AI use while preserving academic integrity and critical-thinking skills.
