The definition of critical thinking is not relying on only one source. Next rain will make you wet keep tuned.

How many phone numbers do you know off of the top of your head?

In the 90s, my mother could rattle off 20 or more.

But they're all in her phone now. Are luddites going to start abandoning phones because they're losing the ability to remember phone numbers? No, of course not.

Either way, these fancy prediction engines have better critical thinking skills than most of the flesh and bone people I meet every day to begin with. The world might actually be smarter on average if they didn't open their mouths.
