I am not a fan of Copilot (and the like) on principle but I am a fan of the idea of a responsibly trained locally run “AI” assistant. These don’t make us dumber any more than calculators, computers, and GPS do. We will get worse at doing things we offload to the computers like we always have. That’ll make room for other sorts of areas we will get mentally sharp at. Our generation was scolded by elders for not learning all the ways to do arithmetic in our head. It’s the same sort of thing. I know I am not learning the roads where I moved well because I rely on GPS too much. When we choose to want to gain proficiency in an area we can fall back away from the technology. That doesn’t mean we are in any way dumber or less intelligent by using these tools, just differently so. #ai #llm #GithubCopilot
Is an overreliance on Microsoft Copilot and ChatGPT negatively impacting our cognitive skills and making us dumber?
AI-powered chatbots are quickly gaining traction with wide adoption, but are they making us smarter or dumber?Kevin Okemwa (Windows Central)
