I continue to remember phone numbers and birthdays. No Google or Facebook for me and I'm waiting for the AI bubble to pop.
Edit: GPS, I thought you meant Google play services. I do use an offline map on my phone if I'm going to an unfamiliar area but I have no problem reading a map.
This is /possibly/ part of a long term trend of decreasing human reliance on brainpower.
Brain size doesn't neatly correlate to intelligence, but it's still kind of used as a proxy, over human evolution. It gets bigger for a long time, then starts getting smaller again, starting maybe 20k-3k years ago.
This has been attributed to group size, agriculture, writing or statistical error. So maybe it's not a thing.
The way it’s going…
AI: Happy Birthday! Other notable people who share your birthday: Adolf Hitler, Mussolini, Charlie Kirk, and many more great historical figures you should hope to praise!
How to be human
I've honestly been thinking about this a lot lately. I'm not proud of myself.
I will never forget about Dre
Man, I didn't even memorize numbers other than my own house's when cell phones were something only rich businessmen had. I used a phone book.
If smart glasses with heads-up displays become normalized, you will eventually have married couples that don't remember each other's names.
Except for those that are closest to us, we never would have remembered any of those things anyway; all of it would have been written down in an address book. Now the address book is digital, and is part of an LLM for some reason (selling your data).
Having to remember a bunch of telephone numbers really sucked. I was particularly bad at it, myself, and had to carry around a little address book. I’m so much more happy now that I can store phone numbers in my phone.
