Bocconi study: ChatGPT may not dumb us down — results mixed

A study by Bocconi University suggests that using ChatGPT does not straightforwardly reduce people's willingness to think independently, challenging the widespread assumption. However, it is the first study of this design, and the results were shared by OpenAI itself, which raises questions about bias. The findings are especially timely ahead of a new school year and ongoing debates about banning phones in schools.
