The research team (including @hamsabastani who is on X) found that letting students just use AI resulted in them using it to accidentally shortcut learning But both that study and a separate RCT found that AIs prompted to act as a tutor improved learning https://t.co/0HtjGC8eU0 https://t.co/U3OIeCF4aP

"text": "Wharton researchers gave nearly 1,000 high school math students access to ChatGPT during practice problems\n\nResult: chatGPT is the perfect trap.\n\nLook at the red bars.\n\nStudents with ChatGPT crushed their practice sessions. \n\nThe basic ChatGPT group solved more problems and those on the \"tutor\" version did even more.\n\nNow look at the gray bars. That's the exam. \n\nNo AI allowed.\n\nThe ChatGPT group scored 17% worse than kids who practiced with zero technology.\n\nAnd the fancy tutor version?\nNo better than working alone.\n\nThe researchers called AI a \"crutch.\" \n\nWhen they analyzed what students actually typed into ChatGPT, most of them just wrote - “What’s the answer?”\n\nThe kicker: students who used ChatGPT believed it hadn't hurt their learning.\n\nThey were confidently wrong.\n\nThis is the AI trap in education. \n\nOutsourcing your thinking.\n\nOf course, lots of half-baked AI literacy curricula being rolled out in schools now\n\nLet’s of course ignore that basic literacy (the ability to read) is possible for <50% of 8th graders\n\nSource: Bastani et al.
