KABUL: Recently, there have been rumors suggesting that AI applications will enhance human life by taking on tedious or difficult tasks that require significant time and effort.
This, proponents argue, allows users to enjoy life more or dedicate their time to more valuable activities.
This perspective is popular among enthusiasts of “Generative AI,” a technology that has gained significant attention in recent years, particularly due to the conversational robot “ChatGPT” introduced by OpenAI in 2022.
According to the company, by February 2024, this chatbot had reached one million active users weekly.
However, some caution that reliance on this type of AI might not broaden our minds for deeper and more significant tasks, but rather make us “less intelligent.”
How could this happen? Can we leverage these great capabilities without harming our intelligence or creativity?
One of the latest studies, conducted this year by Microsoft in collaboration with researchers from Carnegie Mellon University, highlights the connection between dependence on generative AI and a decline in human cognitive abilities.
