AI Is Making You Dumber (Study Shows) [Eschatology Matters]

Author: Fight Laugh Feast USA March 24, 2026 Duration: 8:59

Is AI making us dumber—or actually making us more capable?

In this episode, Josh Daws examines two competing narratives about artificial intelligence. A recent MIT study suggests that reliance on AI may lead to declining cognitive engagement. But a Harvard study shows the opposite: when used properly, AI can significantly amplify human productivity and ability.

So which is it? 

Josh places this debate in historical context, going all the way back to Socrates, who warned that the invention of writing would weaken human memory. He wasn’t entirely wrong—but writing also transformed the world for the better.

Every major technological advancement comes with trade-offs. Some abilities may atrophy, but others expand dramatically.
 
The real question isn’t whether AI changes us—it’s how we use it.

And for Christians, that question carries even greater weight. Scripture calls us to exercise dominion, not retreat in fear. If AI is a tool, then it must be brought under wise, disciplined, and faithful use.

Are we becoming weaker—or being equipped for greater responsibility?


From the team behind Fight Laugh Feast USA, this collection of shows operates from a central, compelling conviction: that Jesus Christ is Lord over every corner of our existence. That idea isn't just for Sunday mornings; it's for the political debates, the cultural shifts, the kitchen table conversations, and the daily news cycle.

You'll hear hosts and guests grapple with current events, analyze cultural trends, and discuss the challenges of modern life, all through a lens of robust faith that isn't afraid to engage. The tone here isn't monolithic-it can be pointed and principled in one moment, joyful and celebratory in the next, reflecting the full range of a life lived with conviction. Tuning into this podcast means encountering thoughtful dialogue that refuses to separate the sacred from the seemingly ordinary, always anchored in the proclamation that every part of life falls under a sovereign claim. It’s for those who want their news and commentary served with depth, a bit of wit, and a foundational hope that shapes how they see everything else.
