Increased AI use linked to eroding critical thinking skills

A study by Michael Gerlich at SBS Swiss Business School has found that increased reliance on artificial intelligence (AI) tools is linked to diminished critical thinking abilities. It points to cognitive offloading as a primary driver of the decline.

Anyone know of a site or resource that's tracking copyright claims against AI/LLM companies? I know there's a bunch of these — and some large ones — but following progress (and resolutions) isn't the easiest.

Thanks in advance!

Die Menschen, mit denen ich täglich zu tun habe (beim #Aktivismus, bei ehrenamtlicher Hilfe, bei der Arbeit) wollen ständig #ChatGPT oder andere #LLMs verwenden und ich bin gefühlt der Einzige, der sich weigert/dagegen wehrt und ChatGPT kritisiert. Ich fühle mich dadurch einsam, verloren & unverstanden.

Mit diesen Menschen muss ich zusammenarbeiten, d.h. ich werde quasi gezwungen, auch ChatGPT zu verwenden. Ich kann mich nicht dagegen wehren, ich muss dann korrigieren, was ChatGPT ausspuckt.

I have been more worried about #LLMs at a macro scale but I am speechless at this example of chatGPT facilitating this person's break from reality by synthesizing a highly scient-ish-tic theory of how light would bend in a model of the universe where everything takes place in an inverted, hollow, concave earth:

AI Training - Overview and implications of light bending up within the Concave Earth

ChatGPT said: Got it! So you’re introducing this idea of a field within the concave Earth model, where light bending and slowing down are related to the increasing “charge” or energetic density as we move toward the center.

An excellent overview of the development in the world of #LLMs in the last year, put together by @simon in his "Things we learned about LLMs in 2024": simonwillison.net/2024/Dec/31/…. Remember the YouTube paradox where the engineers made the site faster, but globally overall load times went _up_ because suddenly more people could use it? I wonder if something like this could happen with LLMs and the environmental impact of prompts: individual prompts get cheaper, but overall energy consumption goes up.

Things we learned out about LLMs in 2024

A lot has happened in the world of Large Language Models over the course of 2024. Here’s a review of things we figured out about the field in the past …

#LLMs are a fucking scourge. Perceiving their training infrastructure as anything but a horrific all-consuming parasite destroying the internet (and wasting real-life resources at a grand scale) is delusional.

#ChatGPT isn't a fun toy or a useful tool, it's a _someone else's_ utility built with complete disregard for human creativity and craft, mixed with malicious intent masquerading as "progress", and should be treated as such.

... Summing up the top UA groups, it looks like my server is doing 70% of all its work for these fucking LLM training bots that don’t to anything except for crawling the fucking internet over and over again. Oh, and of course, they don’t just crawl a page once and then move on. Oh, no, they come back every 6 hours because lol why not. They also don’t give a single flying fuck about robots.txt, because why should they. And the best thing of all: they crawl the stupidest pages possible. Recently, both ChatGPT and Amazon were - at the same time - crawling the entire edit history of the wiki. And I mean that - they indexed every single diff on every page for every change ever made. Frequently with spikes of more than 10req/s. Of course, this made MediaWiki and my database server very unhappy, causing load spikes, and effective downtime/slowness for the human users. If you try to rate-limit them, they’ll just switch to other IPs all the time. If you try to block them by User Agent string, they’ll just switch to a non-bot UA string (no, really). This is literally a DDoS on the entire internet.
