Ethan Mollick says students don't raise their hands in class as much because they don't want to expose their ignorance when AI can answer their questions, and the use of AI is leading to the illusion of competence and lower test scores

Source (thanks to @curiousgangsta):

he research I was referring to.

interesting, thanks for the extra context!

I had a teacher when I was in high school that bribed me to always raise my hand and ask really stupid questions before everyone else. It set the bar for participation as really low, because everyone knew they could AT LEAST contribute something better than I did.

@joehenriod 😆

maybe we should test them on things ai can’t ace on its own.

Teachers and lecturers can try all they want to ban this technology but it's not going anywhere. I applaud the students who are using this. also interesting to think that these students are learning how to interact with LLM's not through courses but through usage.

Dang kids using the right tool for the job

nah it is called ' fear of rejection '

i think this is how 'general' intelligence happens. when we stop learning from one another but instead get everything from one source and the overall intelligence is 'generalized'.
