    First of all, it’s hypothetical. If only for the fact that using a wheelchair in real-life actually greatly increases difficulty getting around. The point is that if you don’t lose your muscles, they get weaker. Happens with anyone that has an accident that causes them to be unable to use their muscles for a prolonged amount of time. See also: Astronauts needing to exercise while in space or back on earth because they’ve not had to use many of their muscles as much due to lack of gravity.

      why are you assuming they’d be full-time wheelchair users? an abled person wouldn’t stop using their legs and would be an ambulatory user.

        Because we are talking about someone using AI for most if not all tasks that involve thinking and/or creativity, as if it was any other tool.

          unlike genAI, wheelchairs don’t magically make you become dependent on them.

          it’s impossible for someone that wasn’t disabled already to find using a wheelchair preferable to just enjoying abled privilege.

          an abled person would just use a “self-driving” car instead of using a wheelchair if they felt like outsourcing responsibility over their lives.

            You are clearly triggered and you shouldn’t be triggered. Take a damn chill pill and realize noone is your enemy here, you’re just making a jackass out of yourself.
