Interesting Q. In my case, Bitcoin has done nothing but add skills and knowledge.
- Learned how to run a full verification node and validate not only my transactions, but every single on-chain Bitcoin transaction since the genesis block.
- Read about and leveled up my understanding of economics and the history of money with a level of interest I never had before.
- Changed my behavior as a result of switching to a low time preference. This has had profound positive effects on my lifestyle choices in general and spending choices specifically.
- It has renewed my hope for a new gilded age that I think will emerge when we transition to a Bitcoin standard. A digital renaissance favoring those with UTXOs enormously, but solving many of the problems that a fiat standard have created for everyone including: profligate consumerism, funding wars which both lead to ecological devastation. It won't eliminate poverty and solve all of the world's problems, but it will have a very positive impact provided that we don't screw up the protocol.
Now if you asked what are we losing as a result of Generative A.I, that is a whole different answer.

Not precisely. CryptoXoide will eventually write about NI (natural intelligence), there is this theory in forums that the human mind suddenly evolves to be more intelligent than the machines because there is just a finite amount of resources, energy and time that can be poured in the mindless development of machines that surpass or control humans (imho, a very detrimental and obtuse pursuit of the human consciousness, and also a waste of intelligence), thus leading to human minds that can surpass the capabilities of humanmade technology. But this can wait until 2025 for publication, although probably many humans are now realizing this I say because NI seems to be faster already than internet itself and the so called AI.
