I can see the 2040 study already: “Schoolchildren who did not use AI in primary school show higher outcomes”
If I had ChatGPT as a kid I would have learned nothing.
Higher homework scores, but _substantially_ worse test results.
About what you'd expect, right? Friction is important for learning. Make the process too smooth and it slides right off the brain.
a great harm in human society is overconfident extrapolation, especially when treating humans as analogous to weather elements
however, there is literature that explores this aspect, but not relative to what we know right now (and if it is a global trait, does it matter at the general population level?)
Maybe if there are education-tailored AI models strictly limited to explaining and never giving the answer, but even then, how will you know when it's wrong?
