Microsoft Study Finds Relying on AI Kills Your Critical Thinking Skills

The same could be said about people who search for answers anywhere on the internet, or even the world, and don’t have some level of skepticism about their sources of information.
It’s more like, not having critical thinking skills perpetuates a lack of critical thinking skills.

Memorization is not the same thing as critical thinking.
A well designed test will freely give you an equation sheet or even allow a cheat sheet.
When was the last time you did math without a calculator?
-
You're right it's not the same thing as critical thinking, but it is a skill we've lost. How many skills have we lost throughout history due to machines and manufacturing?
This is the same tale over and over again - these people weren't using critical thinking to begin with if they were trusting a prediction engine with their tasks.
I think "deliberately suppressed" is different than lost.

Unless you suffer from ADHD with object permanence issues, then in that case you can go fuck yourself.

How many phone numbers do you know off of the top of your head?
In the 90s, my mother could rattle off 20 or more.
But they're all in her phone now. Are luddites going to start abandoning phones because they're losing the ability to remember phone numbers? No, of course not.
Either way, these fancy prediction engines have better critical thinking skills than most of the flesh and bone people I meet every day to begin with. The world might actually be smarter on average if they didn't open their mouths.
Something something.... Only phone number I remember is your mother's phone number (Implying that is for when I'm calling her to arrange a session of sexual intercourse, that she willingly and enthusiastically participates in).

I thought that's what it means?
No, he said Breath as a service, which is funny!

that "ow, my balls" reference caught me off-guard

Chat GPT et al; "To improve your critical thinking skills you should rely completely on AI."
That sounds right. Lemme ask Gemini and DeepSink just in case.

Gemini told me critical thinking wasn't important. So I guess that's ok.

Keep it on its toes... Ask chatgpt, then copy paste the answer and ask perplexity why that's wrong and go back and forth...human, AI, Human, AI...until you get a satisfactory answer.

Oddly enough that's exactly what corporate wants. Mindless drones to do their bidding unquestioned

I hate how it just seems to slide in.

That's because they're bragging, not warning.

Of course. Relying on a lighter kills your ability to start a fire without one. Its nothing new.
