Almost certainly negatively. Why learn or put in effort into written text prompts when examiners can be easily fooled with machine generated prose? Those that lack discipline, self-control, and have no desire to learn will eliminate themselves.

Sadly. I've learned there is a lot of correlation to lack of discipline/self-control and success in life. Most of the wealthy and successful people I know also happen to go to the gym, monitor their diet, and seem to be able to control their temper in a bad situation. It seems to spill into all areas of your life.

  It's called trait conscientiousness.

My son is 7 years and he routinely asks me "why learn anything when you can just ask Google?". I can only imagine the impact this will have on that attitude over time.

  Do you challenge him with simple questions like "How do you know the answer you get from Google is true?"

    Yep. I attempt to educate him on epistemology as much as I can. He's a relatively skeptical kid, but he's also stubborn as hell and he gives somewhat of a recursive answer of "you just Google that too". I try to impress upon him too that some things take hundreds of hours of explanation before you know enough for it to be functionally useful to you, so you can't always just Google everything. You have to learn things and build your foundations up. Alas he hates the idea of learning anything.

  There are at least two answers to that question: 1. Knowing things lets you know more things faster and they stick: associative memories are very durable because they are mostly groups of references to existing objects in memory. Much less novel information that needs to be encoded. Repetition and memorization matters. 2. Look up latency: Same problem as computer cache misses and L1 vs RAM lookup times. You will take 100x longer to achieve the same result by looking up reference material all the time. Also important questions typically have answers from many different problem domains (social, scientific, philosophical, ethical) and its important to have a lot of knowledge memorized to see a solution to a novel problem holistically.

While letting the slackers slack more, it lets the diligent learn more. I do self guided study and it's perfect for generating questions to quiz oneself on based on a text, and create answers based on that text. Doing this prevents the ai hallucinations. Not to mention creating flashcards and simple shell scripts for any task to manage it all. There so many ways this revolutionizes learning for erudite people.
