However, search engines still encourage us to think critically about\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1126\/science.1207745\"><span dir=\"auto\">interpreting and adapting<\/span><\/a><span dir=\"auto\">\u00a0search results to specific contexts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Times have changed rapidly. Technology has advanced rapidly. We now live in the era of artificial\u00a0<\/span><em><span dir=\"auto\">intelligence<\/span><\/em><span dir=\"auto\">\u00a0(AI). The use of generative AI like ChatGPT, Gemini, and DeepSeek has forced us not only to stop memorizing information but also to stop thinking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Generative AI not only displays information but also generates, analyzes, and summarizes existing data. This AI capability is fundamentally changing the way we think and seek information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">It can be said that generative AI is the first technology that can \u201creplace\u201d human thinking and creativity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">With these AI developments, a question arises: is ChatGPT (or other generative AI) making us stupid?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">As\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kennesaw.edu\/coles\/academics\/information-systems-security\/faculty-staff.php\"><span dir=\"auto\">a professor of information systems<\/span><\/a><span dir=\"auto\">\u00a0who has been exploring AI for over two decades, I witnessed the early stages of this technology&#8217;s profound transformation. Now, as more and more people begin to entrust their thinking to AI, I believe it&#8217;s crucial for us to understand its benefits and risks.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><span dir=\"auto\">AI and the Dunning\u2013Kruger effect<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Generative AI is transforming the way we access and process information. For many, AI simplifies the information-seeking process by eliminating the need to consult multiple sources, compare different perspectives, and be overwhelmed by conflicting information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">AI delivers clear, ready-to-use information in just seconds. While the results are\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/s00146-025-02406-7\"><span dir=\"auto\">n&#8217;t necessarily accurate<\/span><\/a><span dir=\"auto\">\u00a0, the process is certainly efficient. This AI capability\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/major-survey-finds-most-people-use-ai-regularly-at-work-but-almost-half-admit-to-doing-so-inappropriately-255405\"><span dir=\"auto\">has revolutionized<\/span><\/a><span dir=\"auto\">\u00a0our thinking and work styles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Unfortunately, this convenience has a downside. When we rely on AI to do our thinking, this process can diminish our ability to think critically, solve complex problems, and assimilate information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Research on this point is still limited. However, consuming AI-generated content can indeed weaken curiosity, reduce concentration, and create\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.igi-global.com\/chapter\/academic-integrity-and-human-cognitive-development-of-learners\/358898\"><span dir=\"auto\">dependency<\/span><\/a><span dir=\"auto\">\u00a0. In the long term, this consumption behavior can hinder cognitive development.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">The negative impact of AI on our thinking abilities can be explained by the concept of\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scientificamerican.com\/article\/the-dunning-kruger-effect-shows-that-people-dont-know-what-they-dont-know\"><span dir=\"auto\">the Dunning-Kruger<\/span><\/a><span dir=\"auto\">\u00a0effect .<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">This effect can be seen in situations where sometimes the most confident people are the least knowledgeable. This is because they don&#8217;t realize there&#8217;s more to understand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Meanwhile, competent people often lack self-confidence. This is because they know there are many complex things they don&#8217;t yet understand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">The Dunning-Kruger effect is often seen in generative AI users. Some AI users have become completely dependent on AI because they\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/s10796-024-10562-2\"><span dir=\"auto\">don&#8217;t need to think hard<\/span><\/a><span dir=\"auto\">\u00a0.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">For those who are &#8220;addicted,&#8221; they feel like they understand a topic, but in reality, they can simply repeat the readily available AI-generated information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">AI makes people feel \u201csmart,\u201d while their cognitive abilities are completely unused, leaving them dull.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">This difference in AI usage has given rise to two groups. One group is trapped on the &#8221;\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/medium.com\/workmatters\/the-dunning-kruger-effect-climbing-mount-stupid-navigating-the-valley-of-despair-and-ascending-b22d37c1e6f9\"><span dir=\"auto\">Mountain of Ignorance<\/span><\/a><span dir=\"auto\">\u00a0&#8221; because it uses AI as the &#8220;brain&#8221; for critical and creative thinking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">However, there are also those who use AI to \u201cfeed their brains,\u201d that is, to hone their thinking skills.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_77912\" style=\"width: 690px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-77912\" class=\"size-full wp-image-77912\" src=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/MtofIgnorance.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"403\" srcset=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/MtofIgnorance.png 680w, https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/MtofIgnorance-250x148.png 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-77912\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This image depicts the journey of an overconfident individual using AI as a substitute for thinking (the summit of the Mountain of Ignorance), down to the valley of disillusionment, and back to true value creation.

If used raw, ChatGPT will degrade our intellectual capabilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">This intellectual decline can occur when someone uses information from AI without testing it against personal assumptions, failing to consider alternative views, or adopting analyses that may be superficial.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">However, when AI is used as\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.48550\/arXiv.2305.02202\"><span dir=\"auto\">a tool<\/span><\/a><span dir=\"auto\">\u00a0, it can stimulate curiosity, generate new ideas, and help us understand complex topics. AI can also be an intelligent conversation partner, helping us think critically.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">How we use AI will determine whether we become stupid or become more expert in our fields. Generative AI should be used to enhance human reasoning, not replace it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">This means we use ChatGPT to support the answer-finding process, not as a shortcut. This means treating AI responses as\u00a0<\/span><em><span dir=\"auto\">brainstorming<\/span><\/em><span dir=\"auto\">\u00a0ideas , not final results.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><span dir=\"auto\">AI, ways of thinking, and the future of productivity<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">The boom in generative AI usage is driven by the rapid growth of ChatGPT, which reached\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/technology\/chatgpt-sets-record-fastest-growing-user-base-analyst-note-2023-02-01\/\"><span dir=\"auto\">100 million users<\/span><\/a><span dir=\"auto\">\u00a0in just two months after launch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">This ChatGPT craze has brought us to a crossroads. One path leads to intellectual decline as we let AI do the thinking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Another path leads us to opportunities to expand our thinking abilities: working with AI, harnessing the power of technology to make us grow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">It&#8217;s often said today that\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/tech.yahoo.com\/ai\/articles\/ai-wont-replace-human-workers-202300190.html\"><span dir=\"auto\">AI won&#8217;t take our jobs, but someone using AI could<\/span><\/a><span dir=\"auto\">\u00a0. However, individuals who use AI without critical thinking are the ones most easily replaced.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">By leveraging AI as a tool, we can produce results that neither humans nor AI alone can. This is where our future is headed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">This article began with the question of whether ChatGPT makes us stupid. However, I want to end it with a different question: How can using ChatGPT make us smarter?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">The answers to both questions depend not on the technology, but on the user.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bio:<\/strong> Aaron French is Assistant Professor of Information Systems at Kennesaw State University<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2008, The Atlantic magazine shocked the public with a controversial report entitled: Is\u00a0Google Making Us Stupid\u00a0?
