@david_epstein: Brain first. AI second. An MIT study found that students who started essays with ChatGPT remembered less (almost nothing, really) and showed weaker reasoning. When they thought first and used AI second, though, their writing and recall improved. Use the tool to amplify your thinking, not replace it.

I’m a 32-year veteran teacher. I use ChatGPT. I push it to create content using what I already know. It makes content creation easier and more efficient. I also use it to analyze and synthesize ideas, research and documents relevant to my craft. Brain first, AI second.

i’m a strong believer that if you can’t do it yourself, you’ll probably use ai tools poorly. for writing, ai should make the process more efficient like to brainstorm, structure ideas, proofread & refine language BUT it’s not meant to develop the concepts for you. user still needs to bring the thinking

obviously if you don't write the essay you're not gonna be engaged with it why are we still acting like this is groundbreaking research

Its simple: you tell ChatGPT what to write. Don’t let ChatGPT tell you what you write.

Tell me how this correlate to the introduction of radio and television into the world. I’d be interested to know how brain is adapted for better or worse with those items being introduced.

Interesting perspective. Sound advice—but applying it ultimately comes down to each student’s ethics, judgment, and responsibility. Those who ignore it risk losing the most.

yeah. but now this feels fake because the algo and ai could be falsely luring me into a safety of how i use ai to edit my brain written papers with parameters only to stop my rabbit holes off the deepend and NEVER change my tone and then i re-write it anywsy. 🤨 sus.

Why would this info shock or impress anyone? What do you think is different between a regular reader and someone who never reads?

it true dont start with AI, start with reading and thinking of your outline first, identify serveral weakness or posible theory to apply then you remmember what to do and how to do it, not needed to remmember a quote but atleast you have to understand what you truly write down not some vague understanding of AI writing
