>AI users who maintain similar homework completion time as non-AI users experience small learning losses.
Seems like there's no benefit even if it's used "correctly"?
Care to give us the bits you found interesting in the paper to spare me plonking down £6?
Would hate to dissect this just off a paragraph.
“AI adoption raises homework scores by 18% and reduces completion time by 30%, but lowers monthly exam scores by 20% within six months. High-stakes entrance-exam scores fall by 18 and 24%, with the full penalty emerging only after about two years.”
Yup. Short-term metrics juice. Actual comprehension and cognition falls. This seems to be the case across the board, including with adults.
I’m genuinely optimistic that there is a way to make AI helpful in education. I just don’t think we’ve found it yet. (We certainly haven’t demonstrated it.)
