@dyckron the purpose of a system is what it does

@dyckron
I have worried about this. We offload cognitive effort and fail to learn. Learning requires a lot of work to establish and reinforce pathways. AI, by bypassing the work, deprives children of the opportunity to acquire cognitive skills. -

It's becoming apparent the widespread switch to EdTech devices has had negative results, compared to that this is like the iceberg and the Titanic!

So many chilling lines! This one...
"When every student in a class processes information through the same language model, they are learning to reason through the same system. This introduces a new threat vector on the developing mind.
The model's statistical biases become the student's default framing. The model's reasoning structure becomes the student's reasoning structure. LLMs homogenize not just language but also perspective and reasoning strategies."

@dyckron the paper that they reference (https://www.mdpi.com/2075-4698/15/1/6) only states a correlation between age, critical thinking, and AI use.
We would expect this regardless of the actual technology. We develop better critical thinking skills as we age. Young people are far more comfortable using newer technologies.
I would expect this exact same correlation if you measured age, critical thinking and VCR use in the early 80’s

@dyckron Hm, if you'd imagine LLMs to be a sort of mind virus that teaches thought conformity and reduces critical thinking it'd be a boon for any would-be authoritarian type looking to smooth out the kinks of humanity.

@dyckron system works as intended 🫠

@dyckron Does that mean it makes Trump voters better or worse? Hard to tell...
