🌱 Does ChatGPT Make Us Think Less?

Nowadays, the number of similar works created using ChatGPT is increasing and it has become a daily tool for most students and workers. But does it affect a person's ability to think for himself?

According to researchers, AI can lead to cognitive offloading. For example, instead of searching out and analyzing arguments, they immediately asks AI to do so. Ultimately, a person shifts some part of the work to artificial intelligence. Interesting fact: in a randomized study of 120 students, the group that used ChatGPT in training showed 57.5% after 45 days, while the group without AI showed 68.5%. This shows that a large transfer of AI education can negatively affect long-term information learning.

However, ChatGPT can be used in more than just a human job. We can use AI as a conversational manager that analyzes our ideas and thoughts, offers better other ways, and helps to find weak points in the your argument. It can also save us significant time when searching for information and sources, but the resulting links need to be checked by ourselves.

To sum up,the main question is not whether we use ChatGPT, but how we use it.
Tip: firstly, write your ideas and thoughts, then ask ChatGPT to find connections between them, ask questions or suggest new directions. So AI becomes a tool for developing your thinking, not a substitute.
