Great post @gadrian.
While reading the upper part of the post, i imagined myself to be born in the era of no internet research, where i would manually go through hundreds of books just to get a piece of information😂
That's kinda crazy😂
But this post seems to enlighten me more on the future purpose of AI research.
Does the convenience of search engines make us dumber?
I will say both yes and no
My reason for yes
This is mostly applicable in the education sector, where student hardly make use of the library or even make attempt in carrying out their assignments without the use of chatgpt.
I am not insisting that the use of this AI like machine is bad, but i have found out that student don't even try making use of their brain, to see how they can reason out a proper solution to a problem.
I feel this AI is going to affect lots of student, who don't even find interest in acquiring knowledge.
My reason for no
AI has proven to be a very good assistant mostly in the aspect of issues like programming, finance, etc.
Programmers tend to benefit alot from AI by asking questions on any problem they come across with.
Thanks for elaborating on your arguments.
While I haven't been around students lately, especially now since ChatGPT became popular, I can imagine how they started to take advantage of it massively, to the point it is detrimental to them.
Here's a potential counter-argument for your "no" reason, at least for the future. While the AI tools are definitely useful (and I use and will probably use them in the future), remember those students from the first point? If their area of expertise is programming, finance, etc. and their expertise relies on ChatGPT and not on a base of personal knowledge, how will they be of any usefulness as programmers or accountants or financiers or whatever in the future? They will surely be replaced 100% by AI. They won't have the base to oversee what the AI is producing either.
