Note: Using AI as a resource does not make you lazy, but using it to generate essays or answers can impact your brain's ability to retain information.
Over use of AI can cause students to avoid using effort to understand a concept, instead using artificical intelligence to take the responisibility of intellectual thinking
Access to AI can hinder the ability of some to think for themselves, relying instead on the AI bots to provide them an answer quickly without doing any outside research
Those who use AI to generate their work, often do not feel connected to it and feeling ownership to your work drives you to feel accomplished and take pride in what you have completed, and without that it can lead to less motivation in accomplishing tasks
Ways to prevent this:
Using AI resources as a partner in research, rather than an author
Double-checking the information generated by AI, checking the source material
Loneliness
AI compansionship is nothing compared to having relationships with actual human beings
Only having conversations with AI chatbots can lead to more negative emotions and delusions
While it may seem in the moment that AI is curing loneliness, it can actually intensify it when you are away from it
AI can cause you too pull away from the human connections you do have, leaning more on the chatbot that agrees with everything you tell it rather than correcting you and offering more insight
Ways to prevent this:
Visiting places such as coffee shops or restaurants and interacting with others
Stepping away from the screens for a set amount of time each day
Taking walks outside with family or friends
Asking family members rather than AI when you are looking for advice
