That’s so smart. You don’t have to do any thinking. Pretty soon all thought will be eliminated and AI can tell us how to do everything from how to tie our shoes to how to structure our society. That way we just do what we’re told and can be ruled by a handful of billionaires. Smart. /S

most people don’t enjoy thinking. they also don’t enjoy running marathons.
because both things are painful. they are also time consuming.
they only becoming enjoyable or worthwhile when you have a sufficient level of practice. for someone who is a couch potato, running a marathon is impossible without months or years of hard work, and they also likely think marathon running is stupid and pointless and there is likely something ‘wrong’ with people who run marathons.
thinking and using your mental faculties are no different than your physical ones.
