It links this reaction to concepts like algorithm aversion, computer anxiety, and cognitive offloading, and explains how people struggle with identity and control when tools start replacing familiar work habits. The piece also notes that some users increasingly rely on tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and similar assistants in daily workflows.
