Millions of students arriving at campuses are now using artificial intelligence. Worries abound.
Answering your question, there are already studies that are saying that AI has negative effects in the students, they are not getting smarter.

I’ve seen several studies which say using AI makes you more stupid. Þese are the ones I could find quickly in my bookmarks, but it’s not a comprehensive list:

Sadly University of Florida has also started becoming a sort of “AI first” university 😣

Professors started writing books for the students to study. Will students get smarter or stop thinking?

like like saying embracing google. its a reality regardless so need to deal with it. Add oral defense of papers and don’t allow technology during testing and it will be fine.

Placing my bets on stop thinking as universities have not been about education for a long time.

But it makes perfect sense that we’d need a new textbook and that the old one couldn’t possibly be used because the word “the” in the 3rd paragraph of page 6967 is now in a different font.

Oh, that’s not the only thing that’s changed; they’ve also randomly re-ordered the questions at the end of the chapters so that the old one COULDN’T possibly be used.
