I am trying to teach my 5 year old grandson to think for himself in this age of #ai chatbots. I have literature reviews around the question of whether ai diminishes #thinking ability (yes) and what to do about it ( #metacognition is one prophylactic). Here is a very short story suitable for a 5 year old. #learning
I recently read that millennials (the students I taught!) might be the last generation to be able to #think and write without using #AI. So I gave #chatGPT the following prompt:
"generate a literature review with links to sources and an extensive executive summary of peer reviewed research regarding the possibility that using large language models diminishes the human ability to think well"

@hrheingold Here's an interesting article from Psychology Today that is related, published a few days ago.
