AI chatbots are also making people better at physics, by answering questions the textbook doesn't or the professor can't explain clearly, patiently. Critical thinking skills are critical. Students cheating with chatbots might not have put in the effort to learn without chatbots.
this. Deep understanding of physics involves building a mental model & intuition how things work, and the process of building is what gives the skill to deduce & predict. Using AI to just get to the answers directly prevents building that "muscle" strength...
