Do you think AI is improving education, or does it make students too dependent?

I have seen multiple launches here (on PH) providing AI solutions to the student exam preparations (and its really helpful).

Students can now find fast and simple solutions to their problems or study plans as AI helps them fast and easily.

They can now study anytime, anywhere, with no need for anyone's time (24/7 available).


But everyone has its own +ve & -ve thoughts in an easy way (suggestions/improvements)

so what are your thoughts about it?

I think that it makes students more dependent. Relying too much on technology is like relying on calculators.


And now, you can say: But they can focus on more important things and use their capacity for other things...


We know that in 95% of that capacity is used for scrolling on socials and dancing for TikToks :D

In other words, be prepared for a lot of weird TikTok dances :DDD

It’s well-known that AI can provide convenience and save money for learning. However, the convenience of AI is not conducive to improving students’ problem-solving skills. Over time, when faced with difficult problems, students may instinctively seek help from AI rather than thinking through the problem by themselves first.

@hamza_afzal_butt your suggestion is truly insightful. I hadn’t considered that before. That’s true, AI should serve as a ‘mirror and compass’ for the cognitive process.

The essence of learning is not just getting answers, but developing thinking skills through reflection and problem solving. While the use of AI can be efficient, it can also lull students into dependency rather than encouraging them to solve problems themselves and explore multiple solutions. If students become accustomed to getting answers directly with AI, they may lose their curiosity about knowledge and motivation to understand the deeper logic of problems.

Therefore, AI should be best used as an aid rather than a substitute for thinking.

AI offers many benefits, but I feel like it makes students too dependent. It provides all the answers right away, so students don't need to think for themselves.

But, I don't know how to tell students to develop their thinking skills without using AI.
