The Dependency Vector of AI
<p>"Dependency Vector" is a technical term, but at its core, it means something very simple: a metric used to define how heavily one thing relies on another.<br/><br/>How does this relate to AI?<br/><br/>Imagine you want to write a short article about peaches. Rather than doing your own research, reading up on the fruit, and organizing your thoughts, you go to your favorite AI tool. You type: "Write an article of 450 words on the health benefits of peaches."<br/><br/>And <em>voila</em>—you have it.<br/><br/>Look at what just happened there. No brain work. No rough draft. Just prompted into existence.<br/><br/>But what happens if we consistently delegate our cognitive abilities to a machine? We are already seeing the early signs. How many people can still do mental math? How many can write a simple essay or an email without first prompting an AI, and then just tweaking the result?<br/>Bypassing the Struggle<br/><br/>I feel a deep sense of worry for children growing up right now. It is a known scientific fact that the human brain needs challenges to grow and strengthen. Suddenly, those mental challenges are being cleared out of the way. Kids are being spoon-fed results rather than being left to ponder hard problems.<br/><br/> In our frantic bid to become advanced, we are at risk of becoming obsolete.<br/><br/>The entry-level skills that young workers usually build upon to grow their careers are being replaced by algorithms, overseen by a select few. If we look ten years into the future, the only question we might be asking people is, "How good are you at using AI systems?"<br/><br/></p><p><strong>The Fine Print</strong></p><p><br/>But right now, there is something incredibly telling written in small letters at the bottom of almost every chatbot window. It’s a disclaimer stating: AI makes mistakes.<br/><br/>If we completely lose our ability to research, think, and verify, how will we ever notice those mistakes?<br/><br/>We need to take practical steps right now to safeguard ourselves and our children from corroding our mental fortitude. Serve a draft; don’t just prompt all the time. Let’s stop children from relying on AI at the exact age they should be tackling their own problems, fighting through confusion, and learning to sit with the restlessness of finding an answer on their own.</p>
