No surprise really, those that don't offload their thinking understand more and thus can do better at the set tasks and exams etc.

Maybe changing education institutions from being knowledge acquisition environments into employment indoctrination factories was a poor decision.

A healthy, broadly educated population, which feels safe and secure, is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.

They need you to be sick, stupid, and scared.

    Oh we agree that educational institutions are not great and that is part of the problem and why many students use the regurgitation code.

    However, on the other hand it is a worrying trend so many would rather offload their thinking to the regurgitation code that merely regurgitates the statistical average in answers and regurgitates incorrect, or entirely smashed together data.

    students who use their brain are ahead of students who dont use their brain in every measure. in other news people who lift weights found to be stronger than people who dont. more at 11.

    I'm doing a CompSci bachelor program right now, and I'm almost certain there aren't any students who don't use AI. The difference is rather between students who use AI responsibly, for learning and own benefit, and students who cheat every assignment and could barely write a line of code by themselves after 2 years of study. I estimate that between 1/2 and 2/3 are the latter kind.

    LLMs, yes. Actually useful 'AI' like neural nets, and other such things, no. There is actual useful 'AI' being developed and studied in universities and the like, but LLMs aren't really useful in the grand scheme of things.
