Somewhat similar to GPS, it navigates you to your destination but you likely don't know and learn how :)

I often think about the fact that it's essentially poisoning the well in numerous ways:
- Scrapes the hell out of SO
- SO may or may not go out of business or at least not have nearly as much engagement, therefore that avenue closes off
Same thing could happen in many other contexts including poisoning the well of students. To me, the process ALWAYS trumps the result no matter what we're doing.

When I see people using chatbots to do arithmetic or rewrite a piece of personal, emotional writing (the kind of writing where if it has any value at all, it's that its the product of their unique human mind), my heart aches a bit.
Like GPS or calculators or computer automation, the silver lining might be that it enables us to do more and frees us up to do other things, which usually ends up being worth the tradeoff.

It'll be interesting to see how this all evolves. In my opinion, AI can't be stopped, but human standards may change. Like language that we find emotional right now may one day be considered dead and robotic because it gets overused by AI

What is most important for learning new skills?
For cognition, the biggest factor is IQ; the presence of AI has zero or negligible effect
The smart ones will know how to leverage AI

Totally agree! I don't use chatbots that much myself but I do use a coding assistant and it's really great. However, I can also confirm that the paper is right :D

I find concerning letting your kids learning from a censored biased LLM.

Most if not all human teachers are 'censored biased'
Plus lack of self awareness

IQ is more important for learning regardless of teachers and censored biased LLM
High IQ students can overcome bad teachers and AI

It already is! I can definitely see a future where people leverage AI to write their papers and complete tasks for them. If this happens, the brain's mind muscle will lose effectiveness. For every good thing, there will come something bad unforseen.

I use LLMs to supercharge my learning.
But that's more of an extractive use than a generative one.
