Good Idea: Use AI consciously

Studies at MIT, Cornell, and Santa Clara found that when people rely on AI for tasks like writing essays or generating ideas, their brain activity drops, their output becomes more similar, and they lose originality, personal voice, and even memory of what they wrote. AI pushes people toward common phrases, mainstream cultural references, and safe viewpoints instead of encouraging diverse or critical thinking. Over time, this influence could shift what people consider normal or acceptable. The article warns that while AI can be helpful, it risks flattening creativity and cultural expression by pulling everyone toward the same average center.

From Reuters 🇩🇪 Germany's interior minister on Wednesday backed Berlin’s decision to strip a man of his citizenship for supporting Hamas, saying naturalised citizens should forfeit their nationality when they are found not to uphold German values.

The decision comes as Germany tightens immigration and citizenship rules amid a debate about who belongs in the country and the rise of the far-right.
