And so at the moment, we are going to have to find other ways of working around that.

So if the whole premise of a student coming to university is to get the grade as easily as possible, they could use AI to do that and have almost no learning.

That's the worry at the moment.

But then what is the point?

Surely the point is the journey, not the destination as much.

So if as human beings, we take the easy option and we suddenly fly to the end, tick the box and that's done,

that's not going to do anything for our cognitive health.

So we know, for example, in other data from like taxi drivers that do the London Knowledge, that their brain rewires all the way through in terms of the mapping.

We tell people when they retire, do Sudoku, keep your brain active.

Through neuroplasticity, we used to think that, you know, the brain would start to have a finite date and just decline.

Now that's not true.

If you keep it active, you'll keep using it.

But we're already outsourcing memory and all kinds of other things to technology.

So if we start outsourcing critical thinking, we're going to be in trouble.

Learning to question AI is a real skill.

Learning to critique it, to question it, to challenge it, have it challenge you back so it's kind of like a sparring partner.

That's one of the best uses of AI at the moment.

It's interesting that you've kind of got a third person in that relationship now, though, but you're speaking about it like a third person, but it's a technical entity.

And so we're all doing that.

My chat GPT says this, that, the other, you know, and of course it's trained on us.
