Calculators didn’t make people better at math — they made math vanish from the average mind. Spellcheck didn’t improve spelling — it bred autocorrect addicts. And now Cluely doesn’t make people smarter — it makes them dependent.

You’re not building intelligence. You’re building the illusion of intelligence, draped over atrophied minds too distracted to notice their muscles no longer move.

You say we won’t need to memorize, write, or think — but who understands what they’ve never wrestled with?

A prompt is not a thought. An answer is not an idea. And being "right" in real time is not the same as knowing why.

If the future belongs to the one who asks the best question, then God help us if no one remembers how to wonder without help.
