I don't remember exactly in which book's introduction Hannah Arendt mentioned this, but she pointed out that every time humanity learned a new skill that improved its efficiency in some capacity, that skill as well as adjacent skills diminished irrevocably.

AI is the thing that for the first time can think better than us (or so at least some people believe) and is seen as an efficiency booster in the world of cognition and ideas. I'd think Hannah Arendt would be worried with what we are currently seeing and where we might be headed.
