2. AI Cognitive Offloading
Another discussion asks whether heavy AI use can weaken everyday thinking, based on one manager's experience on Reddit. The person described using AI for presentations, data preparation, email, meeting notes, and summaries, while feeling less able to read deeply or make connections without help.

3. Neural Transition Questions
The final story is a speculative question about whether deliberately reaching an irresolvable inference creates a reproducible neural transition, raised in a Reddit post. The author supplied almost no experimental evidence, asking whether such a state becomes phenomenally salient.
