It's the wrong way around if you think that people are[/should be?] seeking to think more (or something along those lines) about issues they encounter. It isn't if you think that people are seeking to offload yet another task, similar to automating away many other areas of life.
I'm an early adopter of AI products myself, but I'm always disgusted when I hear this kind of case being made for them. It's fear-mongering, plain and simple. The cloud, mobile, even crypto sounded like "join us in this exciting new world" at their most hyped. Why does AI so often sound like "get on board or you'll be obsolete"?
If the author really is right, that we're heading for a world with a cutthroat binary divide between the adopters and the non-adopters, then I know in my gut which side I want to be on, and it's not his.
It's a simple logical proposition though. Either one is using AI in some way, or one isn't. And only those who use it can benefit from it. And we know that there are definitely benefits. Therefore those who avoid it will miss out on said benefits, ie "left behind".

I read well over the amount text in 20-30 books from online content/non-books.
This idea is outdated and not a good indicator of someone who reads.
AI is just a tool. It's pretty obvious it's here to stay and if you don't start embracing it, you will be left behind.
