We're making the same mistake with AI as we did with cars; not planning human future.
Cars were designed to atrophy muscles, and polluted urban planning and the air.
AI is being designed to atrophy brains, and pollutes the air, the internet, public discourse, and more to come.
We should change course towards AI that makes people smarter, not dumber: AI-aided collaborative thinking.

There's this term of human-AI synergy which describes the idea of an AI system supporting the human and enriching human skills to do a certain task. I think it's a reasonable idea.
In theory yes, but in practice it is not as good as it may seem.
Well, you can hope, but since humans are mostly, let me say, primitive, the future will be a masterpiece.
