I have coworkers who already stop to type things into a GPT before using any part of their mind to think about things. At this point I assume its inevitable that for large segments of people, who are not actively trying to maintain the independence of their mind, will allow these computers to do their thinking and decision making for them.

Not everything needs to be analyzed ad-nauseum. Sometimes I just want an answer so I can move on and use that for something productive in my life.

> I just want an answer

The issue is that AI is not at least yet accurate enough for that. You need think on your own and be expert to spot all the inaccuracies. But then again, we are talking about how students can learn based on that...

Calculators keep us from having to practice a certain skill and we accept whatever consequences of that, we've survived it. But yeah, imagine if the skill we no longer had to practice was critical thinking period.
