Answering your question, there are already studies that are saying that AI has negative effects in the students, they are not getting smarter.

    The place where I work has recently introduced to AI but I'd be amazed if the staff could become more stupid. They already don't know what an ampersand is, so I can't imagine the bar can get any lower, it's already a tripping hazard.

    When they redid the web blockers a couple of days ago it accidentally blocked corporate co-pilot which is the only AI they're authorised to use (as if it'll make any difference at all to data protection), the amount of whining I got about it was unbelievable. Why can't they just go back to doing their job the way that they presumably were doing it before AI?
