Stiamo Diventando Stupidi? L'Impatto dell'AI nell'Educazione | Red STEM | Mariot, Russo, Gardinazzi

Recently, a study from the MIT Media Lab (Your Brain on ChatGPT) has received considerable media attention because it appears to experimentally confirm that LLMs increase cognitive debt in people who use them to help them write texts. The study has not yet been published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal, and the preprint, available online, has already attracted criticism for various methodological flaws. In this new episode of the AI ​​series, we revisit the limitations of this study and take the opportunity to explore the broader implications that generative AI tools could have on the education sector.
