When I was in high school we 'barely' had search engines. I graduated in 98, I'm not even sure google was around then. I've never seen them try to get rid of google which has just as much ability to inhibit critical thinking skills. I mean imagine having to learn and remember code constructs instead of being able to search online. Imagine if all your docs were books, and that's it. Sure you'd need to retain more, but would you be more performant because of it? We're moving to a society where ai-augmentation will be the norm, not the exception and we need to start training on that premise so that we can perform to our best when we have more info at our fingertips.
