@GaryMarcus @Herroldo @jillnephew Then they are using it wrong. I use it with my students in ways that clearly enhance their learning experience. Also, in 10 years, a doctor knowing how to diagnose certain things will be like remembering how to do long division. Certain skills get permanently offloaded to

@social_brains @Herroldo @jillnephew you are aware that there is an empirical data going the opposite direction? doctors getting worse at diagnosis, undergraduates learning nothing, etc?

@jillnephew @social_brains @GaryMarcus Disagree. Look at the recent study on Dr's losing their ability to diagnose cancer correctly after relying on AI. If anything, reliance on LLMs seems to destroy or attack one's ability to apply critical thinking. It's the Cliff's Notes to intelligence.

@Herroldo @social_brains @GaryMarcus I think people will argue that you can use an LLM to challenge your thinking and bring in more context. So "smarter" is a proxy for "getting the correct answer with less thinking". Challenging your own thinking is a hard cognitive task and maybe a sign of ultimate "smartness".

@jillnephew @social_brains @GaryMarcus Only smart as long as the power is on and he has access to an AI provider? I don't consider that intelligence. Is a parrot smarter than the person it is imitating just by repeating what it's heard? No.
