Artificial intelligence (AI) is now part of students’ everyday life; some claim (scientists and seniors). However, this could threaten students’ mental health and critical thinking by overusing it or asking obvious questions. As AI gets more developed, students are more likely to use it for quick answers.
Students on campus are using AI. Teachers have been noticing students on the SDHS campus using AI for various tasks. For instance, students have been using AI not just for writing essays but also for other homework assignments. They are severely relying on it for daily interactions. By doing this, students are becoming less intelligent and critical thinkers. It’s also affecting their human traits and empathy. Unfortunately, interactions with AI have led to tragic events, and these events will continue if nothing is done.
AI is a useful tool that helps people get information quickly and sometimes more authoritatively. However, it is not always reliable, and overusing it for every question or mental task can be harmful. Experts were concerned that AI’s potential to diminish unique human traits, such as deep thinking and empathy, as people began using it extensively, leading to mental and physical overuse. On the bright side, AI is actually a powerful tool that opens up fields like medicine and boosts innovations.
We have to understand how AI is becoming a part of our lives, and people have to set boundaries for it. Potentially, people begin to understand how AI could be dangerous if it is not used thoughtfully
