I just posted something pretty relevant to this in a different comment. Totally agree with the dangers. 2 important points:
1. Not all AI is the same. I see 2 MECE categories in education: AI that does all the thinking/execution for you (the outsourced brain), and AI that is designed to fulfill specific coaching/tutoring roles. If we design AI to ask great questions and find the Socratic thread with students, we can actually make students think harder and learn faster.
2. Social media is full of cheap dopamine. See my comment about 'effortful dopamine' for my perspective on this.
