A new study by researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and Microsoft has found that using generative AI tools - such as ChatGPT and Copilot - may be reducing our ability to think critically. The research, which surveyed 319 knowledge workers and examined 936 real-world examples of generative AI use, suggests that heavy reliance on these technologies can lead to a reduction in the mental effort needed to evaluate and verify information.
Insight is not something that can be gained merely through technical proficiency or the mastery of research methods.
I find it fascinating to analyse every nuance.
A Dhallywood dialogue recently created a social media storm by cropping up in a more unusual place: a question paper for Bangladesh Studies in the University of Barishal, where students were asked to examine it in the “light of British hegemony in the Indian subcontinent.”
Critical thinking has always been emphasised heavily in education and with good reason.
