It seems that as people rely on AI, their skills erode (www.nature.com/articles/d41...); the rapidity of AI's responses makes the checking of all the answers (for many) unlikely; & modern technology has rendered people less able to read and comprehend texts (www.chronicle.com/article/my-s...).

Yup! He’s my dad.
