The Latin phrase "in regione caecorum rex est luscus" translates to "in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king." This expression suggests that a person with a slight advantage can dominate in a situation where others have none.
This phrase was popularized by Desiderius Erasmus in his work "Adagia," first published in 1500. It reflects a common theme in literature and philosophy about relative advantage and perception.

Critical thinking is going to suffer greatly with AI.

Encourage your kids to learn to question and understand the issues not on their desk top. That may give them a leg up and become the one eyed
I love AI as a tool used in the proper place and setting. I use it often for professional and personal uses.
I have two kids who are college age. They do not like AI. One moreso than the other. I just have a very different experience for some reason with my kids than all the stories I read about kids and young adults being overly reliant on AI for everything they do. No big point here- just an observation.
