Artificial intelligence, cognitive offloading and implications for education: https://www.uts.edu.au/news/2026/03/experts-warn-unstructured-ai-use-in-schools-risks-cognitive-atrophy/contentassets/ai-cognitive-offloading-and-implications-for-education.pdf
⚠️"Emerging data support the observation that unstructured #AI use trends toward detrimental offloading, creating a performance paradox: students’ short-term performance on tasks improves, while their durable, long-term learning is harmed. This trend appears to be driven by the fluency of AI-generated output, which creates an illusion of competence and encourages metacognitive laziness, leading learners to abdicate the generative effort required to build deep knowledge".
