Ultimate Peril of Human Intelligence

Researchers around the globe have been tracking an apparent decline in human IQs, starting around the turn of the millennium.

Theories abound as to why scores are dropping, but notion has it that our cognitive skills may have plateaued, teetering into an era of intellectual lethargy.

Globally IQs rose dramatically over the past century, and now they seem to be falling. Cognitive abilities declined since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic across three of four broad domains of intelligence, National Institutes of Health?(NIH) studies found.

Lot of research shows that anxiety negatively affects performance on IQ measures; depression also actively leads to a detrimental development of the frontal lobe, ultimately affecting intelligence and lowering IQs because we're simply too depressed to think straight, or can't complete certain cognitive tasks anymore.

While AI can replace some tasks, it cannot replace many human knowledge and problem-solving skills. Therefore, combining the strengths of AI and human abilities is necessary to achieve outstanding results in scientific and technological pursuits.

Though AI can analyze data, identify patterns, trends, and even generate new solutions based on existing data, it lacks the ability to think outside the box and come up with truly original and creative ideas. AI relies on pre-programmed algorithms that limit its ability to think creatively thus far.

Some of us are concerned and may even resent the notion of AI taking over, although we’ve already given-in.

Case and point, you may recall your contacts names, but can you remember their phone numbers? ?Your Smart Phone does! You may recall how many bank accounts you have, but can you remember their numbers or latest balances? Your plastic cards do!

Blunt evidence of such are QR codes, AI can read their imbedded information and use it; you can’t!

We are growing slowly but surely reliant, if not already dependent on robots and drones, where algorithms run our systems, and lives, and as humans, we strictly do the handling if any, not the thinking anymore?

Nowadays online, news; social-media; messaging; mail; webinars; exams; applications; banking; reservations; check-ins; shopping; and payments are but prevalent and unavoidable to say the least…

Question is, would you want it any other way? And if you do, can you still trust your fellow human’s integrity; sense of judgement, or intelligence for that matter…


Food for thought!
