Neither.

  • I think it won't benefit "learning" but that instead it will benefit "needing to learn less" to get to the same result. Freeing up time to do other things
  • I also don't think it will stifle curiosity because that's like the one thing the clanker doesn't have. It can simulate it, but it will never have an intrinsic drive. This is where meatbags beat clankers every time.

The need to learn less? The goal is for them to learn more, not less.

It may not stifle it, but it will diminish it; this topic is quite interesting.

Oh I thought you asked what I thought? Didn't know it was a test.

Haha, don't worry, I'd like to know the different points of view on this topic that has interested me a lot.

Right. So with the need to learn less to get to the same result, I mean that the learning curves may flatten a bit. This won't per definition help learning. It may help specialization. I personally think specialization is good when you're operating in safety. However, at what cost will that safety exist, and will it be lasting? This why I think it's a net neutral, not a net positive or negative.

But for curiosity, it should be a net positive. It's cheaper to indulge a curiosity if you have means to automate the tedious parts, and thus you can be open to more things.

I agree with you about the curiosity aspect. AI will have many benefits, but I'm honestly worried about how it will affect the learning of the youngest members of the household.
