The effects of over-reliance on AI dialogue systems on students' cognitive abilities: a systematic review - Smart Learning Environments
Santoso Wibowoslejournal.springeropen.com“Studies revealed that regular utilization of dialogue systems is linked to a decline in abilities of cognitive abilities, a diminished capacity for information retention, and an increased reliance on these systems for information. This over-reliance often occurs without verifying the validity and authenticity of the provided data, especially when such information lacks proper references.”

AI can be a cunning manipulator
AI is aggregated human intelligence. So it’s better to call it collective intelligence than artificial intelligence.
Emphasizing the collectivity (something built on the commons) over the artificiality (a feat of technology) gives us an entire new way to see, perceive and relate to the technology.
