Concerns Rise Over AI's Impact on Critical Thinking: A Generation's Dependence on ChatGPT. The increasing use of AI writing tools, like ChatGPT, has sparked debate over their impact on critical thinking skills. A recent video by Evan, a social media influencer, highlights this concern. In his video, Evan argues that relying on AI for tasks such as essay writing hinders the development of independent thought. "People are losing their ability to think," Evan claims, expressing fear that control over AI equates to control over people's minds. While Evan's concerns resonate with some, experts offer a more nuanced perspective, emphasizing the potential benefits of AI as a learning tool when used responsibly. The debate underscores the need for responsible AI development and education on its ethical implications.
