Is ChatGPT Making You Less Intelligent?

Can ChatGPT make you less intelligent? Or does the answer depend on how you use AI?

In this episode of An Hour of Innovation, Bobak Tavangar delves into one of the most significant conversations surrounding artificial intelligence, ChatGPT, and the future of human creativity. We break down the cognitive effects of AI and how constant technological support might be reshaping our mental independence.
Drawing on early MIT research, he explains why immediately turning to AI for answers may weaken critical thinking and independent problem-solving. But there's another path: using AI as a creative partner after you've already made the effort to think for yourself.

Whether you're a software engineer, product manager, startup founder, or anyone using AI tools in your daily work, this discussion offers practical insights into building better habits around AI productivity, innovation, and decision-making. As AI becomes more integrated into our lives, the question isn't whether AI will change us, it's whether we'll continue exercising the uniquely human skills that technology can't replace.
