When everyone expects not having to work when we reach AGI, what did they think would happen? Didn’t need experts to tell us this. We are going in that direction.

The most alarming part isn’t the grades, it’s the cognitive atrophy. If you don’t use the mental muscles to analyze and solve problems, they just stop working. We’re trading long-term intelligence for short-term efficiency.

I’ve developed a bad habit of using it at the work place because that’s what management taught us. I feel more stupid every day.

Is this any surprise to anybody?

No shit.
Use it or lose it.
Glorified chat bots won’t replace us, being dumbed down won’t make us more efficient.
The inevitable crash will be glorious, lets hope it’s sooner rather than later, it’s also destroying the planet and causing other harms daily.

It’s very surprising to those that haven’t given a thought about it.

I think they forget to mentiom the enshittification of websites with ads, popups, cookie prompts, subscription prompts, where it is tedious to search for any information.
For coding, you could spend hours on google searching for articles and posts describing your exact problem, some behind paywalls, many trying to sell you their product. Search does not work well based on just terms.
Remember broken links as major companies move their forums, knowledge bases, just to prevent you from finding similar reports in their websites, when they take out info about archived products?
Now that smarter search exists, it can synthesize the solution for you and it saves you a lot of time.
Of course the companies are not happy about it, but their websites were shit anyway, for many years.
AI can also understand which features work on which software version, try doing that when searching with google based on simple terms.
For these use cases you are not getting dumber, as you were not supposed yo use much brain power when searching for something on the internet, it can even help you learn much faster and better than before.
Remember generated coding references, with no examples? Those are shit. Nobody has time to read that and then cross reference with some examples or articles describing how to use them. AI does this work for you.

Frank Herbert’s Dune line on AI is proving true day by day.
– „Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them,“

AI is like DRS in F1. If your car is fast, you would benefit of DRS to win faster. If not then same s#!t.

Experts warn calculators are making your brain work less.
There is no shortage of dumb anti-ai articles.

Thanks for sharing the article. Even read the in-text links, which were also great.
I’m glad it’s being studied specifically in application to the field of education.
“Are these AI prompts damaging your thinking skills?” seems almost click-bait.
At-present trajectories, I don’t think there’s much doubt, at-least anecdotally among folks that evaluate thinking skills as a part of their job, that the issue is already unmissable and creating compounding challenges.

It’s a labour saving device.

isn’t that the whole point?
