Algorithmic Amnesia
Definition
n. The slow erosion of personal memory and problem-solving skills due to habitual reliance on AI for recall, computation, and brainstorming.
Like muscle atrophy from disuse, our cognitive faculties wane when we routinely outsource tasks to algorithms. Algorithmic Amnesia highlights the subtle cost of convenience in an era of instant AI solutions.
Origins
Triggered by search engine culture and later amplified by advanced conversational models, the concept underscores how “if you don’t use it, you lose it” now applies to mental processes in the age of ubiquitous AI assistance.
