They could, but you're commenting on a study whose results indicate that this isn't what happens.
- charcircuit 1y agoAnd you are in a comment chain discussing how there is a subset of people where the study is not true.
- beeflet 1y agoThere is? You haven't proven anything

- dvfjsdhgfv 1y agoRather a subset of people who would like to believe the results don't apply to them. Frankly, I'm sure there will be much more studies in this direction. Now this is a university, an independent organization. But, given the amount of money involved, some of future studies will come from the camp vitally interested in people believing that by outsourcing their work to coding agents they are becoming smarter instead of losing achieved skills. Looking forward to reading the first of these.
- charcircuit 1y agoOutsourcing work doesn't make you smarter. It makes you more productive. It gives you extra time that you can dedicate towards becoming smarter at something else.
- soraminazuki 1y agoBecome smarter at what exactly? People reliant on AI aren't going to use AI on just one thing, they're going to use it for everything. Besides, as others have pointed out to you, the study shows evidence that AI reliance causes cognitive decline. It affects your general intelligence, not limited to a single area of expertise. > Students who repeatedly relied on ChatGPT showed weakened neural connectivity, impaired memory recall, and diminished sense of ownership over their own writing So we're going to have more bosses, perhaps not in title, who think they're becoming more knowledgeable about a broad range of topics, but are actually in cognitive decline and out of touch with reality on the ground. Great.
