Do you think AI is improving education, or does it make students too dependent?
I have seen multiple launches here (on PH) providing AI solutions to the student exam preparations (and its really helpful).
Students can now find fast and simple solutions to their problems or study plans as AI helps them fast and easily.
They can now study anytime, anywhere, with no need for anyone's time (24/7 available).
But everyone has its own +ve & -ve thoughts in an easy way (suggestions/improvements)
so what are your thoughts about it?

I think that it makes students more dependent. Relying too much on technology is like relying on calculators.
And now, you can say: But they can focus on more important things and use their capacity for other things...
We know that in 95% of that capacity is used for scrolling on socials and dancing for TikToks :D

In other words, be prepared for a lot of weird TikTok dances :DDD
Yes, Positive side is that one of my friend's child has completed his Graduation in law studies preparation by using different Chatbots.
@ajay27324 that’s really interesting, AI can definitely be a great study tool and it shows how AI can make education more accessible and flexible. (it depend on usage:)
@preparebuddy True.
It’s well-known that AI can provide convenience and save money for learning. However, the convenience of AI is not conducive to improving students’ problem-solving skills. Over time, when faced with difficult problems, students may instinctively seek help from AI rather than thinking through the problem by themselves first.
@hamza_afzal_butt your suggestion is truly insightful. I hadn’t considered that before. That’s true, AI should serve as a ‘mirror and compass’ for the cognitive process.
AI offers many benefits, but I feel like it makes students too dependent. It provides all the answers right away, so students don't need to think for themselves.
But, I don't know how to tell students to develop their thinking skills without using AI.
