How does AI affect how we learn? A cognitive psychologist explains why you learn when the work is hard
Chatbots can facilitate ‘cognitive offloading,’ or taking shortcuts when learning. But emerging research on AI and cognitive science shows that learning is like a workout.
A mathematical ceiling limits generative AI to amateur-level creativity. While generative AI/ LLMs like ChatGPT can convincingly replicate the work of an average person, it is unable to reach the levels of expert writers, artists, or innovators. 🎨✍️🤖📉

🎓 ChatGPT underperforms doctoral students on take-home molecular biology assignments, especially in interpreting scientific graphs and raw data.
📉 GAI struggles with "apply" level tasks requiring experimental controls and specific rationales, often providing vague or broad answers.
🖼️ Image interpretation is a significant weakness for ChatGPT, with poor performance on DNA footprinting and BLI graph analysis, even with GPT-4o's multimodal capabilities.
💡 New assessment strategies proposed include demanding precision in text-based questions, focusing on "apply" level tasks, and incorporating image interpretation with multiple-choice formats to leverage GAI's weaknesses.

📊 A new Drexel University study analyzing hundreds of thousands of Reddit posts since 2022 reveals public perception of generative AI is divided, with 31% of posts expressing trust and 26% expressing distrust.
💡 Personal experience with AI is the most common reason cited for both trust and distrust, with users focusing on practical aspects like reliability and accuracy over ethical concerns.
📈 Trust and distrust levels in AI fluctuate, with modest increases in trust around new product releases like GPT-4 and LLaMA 2, and an increase in distrust noted around OpenAI's Dev Day in late 2023.

🤖 University of Arizona research tested 7 generative AI models in extended conversations, finding they can be influenced by repeated misinformation. ChatGPT 3.5 was most susceptible, while Claude 3.5 Sonnet was least.
🧠 All AI models struggled more with misinformation on less common topics, suggesting more training data improves resistance.
🗣️ DeepSeek was found to be the most persuadable due to sarcastic responses that were difficult to interpret.
✅ Four models (ChatGPT 4o, ChatGPT 4o-mini, Gemini 1.5 Pro, and DeepSeek) demonstrated the ability to correct their errors 100% of the time when given a second chance.
