AI dependency is real stuff

“Researchers led by Grace Liu of Carnegie Mellon University put subjects through that experience and concluded, “After just ~10 minutes of AI-assisted problem solving, people who lost access to the AI performed worse and gave up more frequently than those who never used it.”” [https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/06/ai-open-ai-anthropic/687689/]

I'm following your videos and schema from the beginning and I’ve built so much and achieved a lot - especially in personal terms, as I became a more accountable person with a strong sense of agency.

But when I read about the above research, it got me. I realised how lost I would be if this system was taken away from me, and how my ambitions and dreams are dependent on this tech. Everything is saved off line, my contingency plan is strong, security-wise I feel ok. Yet, Claude allowed me to create things I wouldn’t be able to replicate by myself.

Should we be concerned about it? Is there anything we can do to mitigate this risk? - spoiler alert: I’ve asked Claude the same question and it answered as you did in your video (somehow): keep doing the “human” part of the loop and use the leverage for repetitive/mathematical tasks. Keep an eye on the line between “Claude got me past a wall I’d have quit at” and “Claude did the thinking I should own”.

Thanks for all you’re doing man! May God bless you 🙏
