The article discusses concerns among educators regarding students' reliance on AI for educational tasks, possibly stunting their creativity and growth. It posits that the impact of AI, like past technologies such as the printing press and the internet, is contingent on engagement rather than the technology itself. A passive approach could hinder intellectual development, while a mentor-like role for AI may enhance critical thinking skills and personal growth. The author emphasizes that it's not the technology but the manner of interaction that ultimately influences intelligence and learning.
AI's impact on intelligence largely relies on our engagement—passive reliance can stifle creativity, while active, mentorship-oriented use can enhance development.
Historically, each new technology, from the printing press to smartphones, has elicited fears of detrimental societal impact, yet it is our interaction that ultimately shapes outcomes.
