There are two types of arguments on this point. Both have their own importance.
When sunlight is focused on an object by a convex lens, the total amount of sunlight / heat on both sides is almost equal. But on one side, the intensity is very high. Similarly, it can be argued that even in the use of AI, there will be no change in the ability to think. Because when we are awake, the mind does its work without rest. There is no shortage of thinking. One is by focusing and the other is by non-focusing. I don't want to lead you to this side.
Basically humans don't like to work hard if they get opportunities to enjoy this world. They like to use things produced by their ancestors. AI, as in the case of anything else, has ‘producers’ and consumers. In the case of ‘producers’ and in some other areas the use of AI will certainly increase the ability to think deeply as understanding increases. But unfortunately I cannot see any sign of abating of man's business spirit according to this understanding. And in the case of many of the consumers, (as I mentioned earlier) if the word 'development' has got a greater meaning associated with values, AI will adversely affect human development.
Comparing human beings to mere machines will surely take man to a mechanical world. It often leads to forget 'the truth that coordinates the beings of the world', which is essential for harmonious life in this world. Instead of becoming human mind a God’s workshop, there is a greater possibility of becoming a devil’s workshop. Also, the number of the exploited will also increase as people use AI for more profit. So IMHO, the use of AI will adversely affect value-based thinking. In other words, it will certainly reduce the ability to 'think like HUMAN'.
