I think this outcome is obvious, actually

Of course we will rely on AI too much

Just like we rely on vehicles too much and our general health has suffered as our activity levels have decreased

Yes, the invention of the automobile was incredible! It enables us to travel much longer distances than before! It also means we walk and run less. Yes of course our diets are also terrible which is probably the main problem with our overall health, but less frequent exercise is absolutely still a factor here

AI is incredible! It will enable us to build things faster! It will also mean we think for ourselves less. There is no doubt in my mind that it will lead to less critical thinking for many, many people

Agentic AI without understanding what it's doing is like owning a warehouse but knowing nothing about manufacturing. Or, managing people but never actually meeting with them. You can use it to generate stuff, but you need to go back and understand in detail what it did and how it works.
