Qualitatively, GenAI shifts the nature of critical thinking toward information verification, response integration, and task stewardship.

Information verification is super important and probably just as important as raw critical thinking. However, when a person is stuck only validating shit output from genai, I could see that as a negative.

I get forced to do more critical thinking than I want to faster than I normally would, since im getting the fast responses, its tiring, if I do something myself I go at my own pace, with ai theres always more stuff to check and do and think about, so I burn out
