David Wiley in LinkedIn summarizes this paper (7 page PDF) as follows: "According to a new study, using generative AI reduces the amount of time students spends studying and improves their GPAs, but may be habit forming." He follows it with a winky face, probably because the key word here is the word 'but'. I mean, if it reduces study time and increases GPA, who cares if it's habit forming. But the hesitation is there, even in the original paper, as the authors conclude, "challenges like over-reliance and curriculum integration persist." If you don't like a thing even when it's successful, what do you like?
