As these tools make themselves more present in the everyday life of people we will see a rise in a sort of intellectual atrophy. AI would do the thinking for most people, AI will take the decision for most people, AI will direct a vast portion of the population into a sort of conveyor belt humans, same ideas, same words, same goals, and so on.

this wildly overestimates how much "thinking" the average person does today. Most people, yourself included, are so on autopilot we barely take in any new information. This is not a concern. Why would people lose their curiosity anymore so than they already have?
