It depends on how you use it. I think your point is similar to the concerns people had when calculators or other similar tools were invented. It's not about the tool itself but how you use it. For example, I use BrainSpeed.ai and I really like it
Using AI in particular removes the dependence on seeking help from real people, which intially seems more efficient, but actually removes the key element of human interaction which ultimately is one of the best reasons for learning, because it not only imbues one with the subject matter but also with knowledge of another.
The fast feedback loop as you call it is beyond the point of healthy for humans with regard to learning. It may work and be amusing in the short term but emphasizes knowledge that can be digitized easily and ignores the greater wisdom that comes from slower, more traditional methods.
In short, while learning with AI can appear to have benefits, the net result is a detrimental transformation into a more educated but more mechanical person further away from biological reality.
