Plato and Socrates expressed concern that writing would lead to forgetfulness and a false appearance of wisdom. This sentiment resonates today regarding artificial intelligence (AI) in education, as teachers worry about students losing essential skills by relying too heavily on technology. A recent survey indicated a low percentage of teachers see AI as beneficial overall. Innovative educational strategies are needed to harness AI's potential while maintaining foundational learning. Ensuring students understand when and how to safely use AI is key to developing their critical thinking and memory skills.
This invention will produce forgetfulness in the minds of those who learn to use it, because they will not practice their memory. Their trust in [it], produced by external characters which are no part of themselves, will discourage the use of their own memory within them.
Some concerns are very valid; students will not learn much if they merely copy and paste from ChatGPT. But- just like writing - AI seems here to stay.
