It is one of the strange development trends of our time: We have spent generations becoming steadily smarter, and then, somewhere around the 1990s, the curve began to turn. In Norway, Denmark, and several other Western countries, IQ results have started to fall. This happens at the same time as we read (!) about a reading crisis in schools and society, and a general failure of concentration. And now we are outsourcing our thinking to AI. Are we heading toward Dumb Day?
