It has been concerning that users of artificial intelligence accept the generated output without thorough validation of the response

It has also been found that regularly using artificial intelligence can cause a reduction in cognitive abilities

As the reliance on artificial intelligence increases, there may be a reduction in the students’ drive to learn

This over-reliance may also lead to issues like a decline in critical thinking and decision-making
