"Since ChatGPT appeared almost three years ago, the impact of artificial
intelligence (AI) technologies on learning has been widely debated. Are they
handy tools for personalised education, or gateways to academic dishonesty?
Most importantly, there has been concern that using AI will lead to a
widespread “dumbing down”, or decline in the ability to think critically. If
students use AI tools too early, the argument goes, they may not develop basic
skills for critical thinking and problem-solving.
Is that really the case? According to a recent study by scientists from MIT, it
appears so. Using ChatGPT to help write essays, the researchers say, can lead
to “cognitive debt” and a “likely decrease in learning skills”.
So what did the study find?"
