Adults Lose Skills to AI. Children Never Build Them.

Discussions of cognitive offloading often miss a critical distinction: What AI does to a 45-year-old's brain is categorically different from what it does to a 14-year-old's.

Psychology Today

So many chilling lines! This one...

"When every student in a class processes information through the same language model, they are learning to reason through the same system. This introduces a new threat vector on the developing mind.

The model's statistical biases become the student's default framing. The model's reasoning structure becomes the student's reasoning structure. LLMs homogenize not just language but also perspective and reasoning strategies."

@dyckron Hm, if you'd imagine LLMs to be a sort of mind virus that teaches thought conformity and reduces critical thinking it'd be a boon for any would-be authoritarian type looking to smooth out the kinks of humanity.
@dyckron system works as intended ðŸ«
