Grazie Juan Carlos, dà piacere vedere arrivare le conferme alle proprie
intuizioni...
Invocando la vostra indulgenza per l'autocelebrazione, scrivevo già nel

completo sviluppo vuol dire menomare le loro possibilità di crescita sul
piano cognitivo»

Sometimes the evidence is there, before our eyes, in the form of
*papers*. The only thing we need is to go out of our bubbles and *read
them*!
There is mounting evidence against the use of AI in education. This is
why I agree with Chollet and celebrate his being open about it. It
could mean he is at least aware of part of the issues!
These are three examples *among many*:
(1)
"Exploring the Impact of ChatGPT on Business School Education:
Prospects, Boundaries, and Paradoxes"
(Valcea et al., 2024)
https://lnkd.in/dPR5UXdj <https://lnkd.in/dPR5UXdj>
"AI is likely to have a net-negative effect on learning. This stance
is based on our trials with ChatGPT on various cognitive tasks
organized around the revised Bloom’s Taxonomy of learning. We identify
areas ... where [students] exhibit significant limitations, such as
logical reasoning and critical thinking. We caution against the
potential deskilling in critical thinking due to students’
overreliance on AI for basic tasks."
(2)
"Cognitive ease at a cost: LLMs reduce mental effort but compromise
depth in student scientific inquiry"
(Stadler et al., 2024)
https://lnkd.in/dJ4kETS7 <https://lnkd.in/dJ4kETS7>
"The study aimed to investigate potential differences in cognitive
load, as well as the quality and homogeneity of the students'
recommendations and justifications. Results indicated that students
using LLMs experienced significantly lower cognitive load. However,
despite this reduction, these students demonstrated lower-quality
reasoning and argumentation in their final recommendations compared to
those who used traditional search engines. Further, the homogeneity of
the recommendations and justifications did not differ significantly
between the two groups, suggesting that LLMs did not restrict the
diversity of students’ perspectives. These findings highlight the
nuanced implications of digital tools on learning, suggesting that
while LLMs can decrease the cognitive burden associated with
information gathering during a learning task, they may not promote
deeper engagement with content necessary for high-quality learning per
se."
(3)
"AI Tools in Society: Impacts on Cognitive Offloading and the Future
of Critical Thinking"
(Gerlich, 2025)
https://lnkd.in/dthFBNwT <https://lnkd.in/dthFBNwT>
"The findings revealed a significant negative correlation between
frequent AI tool usage and critical thinking abilities, mediated by
increased cognitive offloading. Younger participants exhibited higher
dependence on AI tools and lower critical thinking scores compared to
older participants."
Among others!
[[Added:
We cite other examples in our preprint
"The commodification of education and the (generative) AI-induced
scam-like culture"
