Preserve the Human Capacity to Think
AI must not weaken the human desire to ask, struggle, learn, discern, and seek wisdom.
Rationale
The document warns that fast AI answers can reduce patience, attention, reflection, and the effort required for real understanding. Sharper alternative: AI must not make thinking feel unnecessary. Risk or objection: information is not wisdom, speed is not understanding, and convenience can weaken the formation of judgment.
