This is obviously written by AI.

I appreciate that you acknowledged that.

AI can be useful. But it can suck too. Especially when someone uses it to write an article for them.

I certainly have a number of objections to the article:

1 - Writing replaced memorization ==> Writing is a form of communications over and above retention
2 - Calculators replaced arithmetic ==> Calculators added another way of performing the mechanics of basic calculations.
3 - GPS replaced navigation ==> GPS added a new method of navigation.
4 - Refrigerators replaced the knowledge of food preservation ==> Refrigerators made a previously available preservation technique available anytime, anywhere.

Granted, technological dependencies will make civilization collapse much more difficult. This fault rests with people, not the technology. For example, I still can navigate with map and compass, cook meals on a campfire, and even work with a wide assortment of hand tools. It has been my observation that few people ever mastered the old ways and even fewer the newer technologies.

I know people who can write in a notebook but not create a folder on their computer. God help them if they ever want to find the actual files of their photos outside of their super-duper photo manager software. I have seen people accumulate recipes with their super-duper recipe builders lose everything when they migrate to a "new and improved" version or one from a different vendor.

Most people are dreadfully incompetent with any tool they use, primitive or advanced.
