I believe to keep your mind strong you have to stretch it. Meaning you have to do something difficult with it. That will vary by person. Thinking about elderly people doing word searches or similar puzzles versus someone in uni learning physics.
Is improv difficult for you? Is it a stretch? Do you feel mentally exhausted when you do it? Then probably a good activity. If it is something that you just enjoy and is fun, still do it for goodness sake but you might want to find something else to help rebuild what AI taketh away.
Code used to be that for me, but I get frustrated when I know I could just pop it into an LLM and take the thinking out of it. It is hard to do things the long way knowing there is a simpler way. I think we’re hardwired that way. Maybe I should move to Amish country and call it done.
