"The academic struggle for students is what pushes them to become better writers, thinkers and doers. Like most positive outcomes in life, the important part is the journey," says Mark, a college professor. He warns that soon, earning college degrees without AI will seem as old as payphones — and students will suffer for it.

Research backs up his concern. For example, a June 2023 study found that heavy AI use is linked to student laziness caused by reduced decision-making. Similarly, an October 2023 study reported not only greater laziness and carelessness, but also a decline (下降) in work quality when people worked alongside AI. Together, these studies suggest that dependence on AI takes away human motivation and intellectual effort.

If such tendencies go into the broader society, the results could be alarming. Declines in work quality, motivation, and independent thinking could lead to dangerous situations — from workplace accidents to the kind of uncritical "groupthink" Orwell warned about. And, when humans have become too lazy to program the technology, we'll see lazy AI, too.

"An over-dependence on technology will have further negative influence on the public from determining truth from lies, information from advertisement," warns Mark. Finally, a society that lets machines think for it risks losing not only its intelligence, but also its humanity.

Scientists tracked 105 people for a week and discovered something remarkable about human behavior: almost 90% of daily actions happen automatically (自动地). The research used real-time tracking to measure exactly how much of everyday life operates on "autopilot". Over seven days, participants received text messages six times daily. They were asked to share what they were doing and whether it required conscious (有意识的) thought.

The results showed that 88% of daily actions were done out of habit. The study differentiated two types of automatic behavior. Habitual execution happens when you perform an action smoothly without much thinking about how to do it, such as brushing your teeth or driving a familiar route. Habitual instigation, on the other hand, occurs when environment automatically leads you to do something, like reaching for your phone when you hear a notification.

While people believe they make careful decisions, most of their repeated actions are actually done automatically, driven by habit. Surprisingly, the researchers found that personal characteristics like age, gender, and marriage had no significant influence on how automatically people behaved.

The findings can be helpful for anyone trying to change their behavior, from breaking bad habits to building good ones. Since most behaviors already operate automatically, the key may be redirecting existing habit patterns rather than fighting them entirely. Therefore, we should use this to our advantage. For example, we can place our trainers by the door right after meals to encourage a post-dinner walk. Lasting change comes from recognizing and replacing bad habits with good ones.

As he looked at the teenager lying on the boat, he thought, she's gone! Her face was blue. But Benjamin's recent CPR training kicked in. Just six months earlier, he had taken a first-aid course as required for his job as a driver. He began pumping (按压) on her chest, just as he'd been taught. But then her eyes rolled back. No! Benjamin thought. Don't let me lose you! More efforts. The girl came to herself and gradually opened her eyes. She's back! She was alive!

It didn't take long for the media to name Benjamin a hero. He was uncomfortable with the praise, and added, "I'm not a hero. I just did what I needed to do."

Six weeks after the rescue, he saved a driver from a burning car. The media called him "a two-time hero". This time, he didn't object. Indeed, he wanted the world to know that there was another side of his story, one he was now ready to share. As he explained, "I've made a lot of mistakes in my life. I've been in prison. But I never gave up on myself. I was down but not out."

He said, "After I saved people, I began to feel proud of myself for the first time in my life. Maybe this was God's way of showing that anyone, no matter how far they have fallen, can find a meaning in their life."
