You didn’t “call me out with evidence,” you linked a single early study that doesn’t prove the absolutist claim you’re making. You’re taking a broad, complex topic and flattening it into a gym analogy. That’s lazy thinking. It’s far too early to say either positions. I also never asked for a study, I asked for the parent to back up his claims that are far exceeding anything that study may show. He has nothing. While you might be unable to hold a constructive discussion, I will repeat mine.
I suspect there are shades of gray in how these tools are being used. From one extreme end of just using it to as a magic ball of decision making where no thinking goes into the process, to the other end where a constructive Q&A style discussion is being had. I would be surprised if having constructive discussion with a LLM to not be activating the brain, but like I said, I welcome more studies to dig more as what we have so far today is not what I would call conclusive or showing much.
Green accounts being green.
And no, it’s not nuanced at all. If you stop using your brain, you lose cognitive abilities. If you stop working out, you lose muscle. If you stop coding and let someone else do it, you lose coding abilities.
No one is being rude, that’s just what it feels like when someone calls you out with evidence.
