The Promise and Peril of AI: Can Chatbots Enhance or Erode Human Intelligence?

Overreliance on AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot may negatively impact cognitive skills and critical thinking.

These tools can save time and effort, but it's important to strike a balance between AI assistance and engaging our own brains.
-
Copilot has faced issues with hallucinating responses and spreading misinformation that could cause real-world harm.
-
However, AI also presents opportunities to augment human intelligence and maximize creativity by automating mundane tasks.

It's crucial we establish guardrails and oversight to ensure AI provides accurate information and complements rather than replaces human skills.
