We needed research to figure that out? 🙄

Ô'rly?

vs what baseline though. the control group for 'thinks independently without external tools' stopped existing around 2005, and these studies never seem to account for that

Duh

There needed to be research to come to this conclusion? Honestly- it’s a self lobotomization tool. Tech gods are no gods at all, but we keep searching for “easier” in all the wrong places.

But what if I'm already lazy and dumb?

No shit Sherlock..... If you outsource research, analysis and synthesis to AI, what are you left with??

You don’t say…. Shocking

shocking

i think the split that matters is autocomplete vs full delegation. i feel faster with AI as draft pressure, but noticeably duller when i let it close the whole loop. did the study separate those modes?

You look like Michael Tracey

Reliance on anything providing shortcuts does that, AI or otherwise.

My 13 year old said that his classmates are using AI for all their school work. We need legislation NOW to limit its use.

refusing to think can have a negative impact on people’s ability to think? you don't say!

No!! REALLY?!?! Gasp…who’d a thunk… [that was sarcasm, for those in the back]

lol, seems a bit sensational but I guess that's how you get clicks

This is part of why I actively avoid using them.

They said that about calculators. They said that about computers and then mobile phones. Yet the dumbest generation ever are boomers ... You don't see gen z watch Fox News and overwhelmingly voting for Trump...
