Comment on Microsoft Study Finds Relying on AI Kills Your Critical Thinking Skills
technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 week ago
Misleading headline: No such thing as “AI”. No such thing as people “relying” on it. No objective definition of “critical thinking skills”. Just a bunch of meaningless buzzwords.
Do you want the entire article in the headline or something? Go read the article and the journal article that it cites. They expand upon all of those terms.
Also, I’m genuinely curious, what do you mean when you say that there is “No such thing AS “AI””?

Why do you think AI doesn’t exist? Or that there’s “no such thing as people ‘relying’ on it”? “AI” is commonly used to refer to LLMs right now. Within the context of a gizmodo article summarizing a study on the subject, “AI” does exist. A lack of precision doesn’t mean it’s not descriptive of a real thing.
Also, I don’t personally know anyone who “relies” on generative AI, but I don’t see why it couldn’t happen.
