The AI tradeoff: productivity up, knowledge down.

I'm referring primarily to an overreliance on AI when doing research. Soon, we'll all have access to tools like ChatGPT's agents, which can conduct deep research and create presentations. How will a student (or employee) handle Q&A if they were barely involved in the research and development of the content?

It will be tempting to delegate everything, but people need to be aware of the tradeoff. Emphasize it during AI literacy training when discussing other caveats and limitations (bias, hallucinations, data privacy, etc.)

Even if this "telepathic" tool only works half as well as the demo, it would have amazing potential for accessibility. And for anyone dreaming of getting rid of their mouse and keyboard (without surgery).
