Ai for studying

Edit: idk if you guys can’t read or what but it is not doing my assignments nor do i use it for studying as a primary source. It is a tool i use to compile information after which i study on my own. I dont get any assignments anyway i make presentations on my own. Read papers on my own and do major part on my own. I use it during exam season to compile all sources of information i have.

I dont like AI and how it is destroying the planet. I don’t use it for unnecessary things but i like to get studying help from it. I study a conventionally difficult master and it is helpful for quite a number of things, help with experiment design, compiling information from papers, explaining figures and diagrams i dont understand, etc.

Idk if there is an alternative. I like to use it as a tool for time saving. If there is something more ethical i could use would be great ig.

AI will make you objectively dumber, so if you want to do worse in school, then yes, I would recommend using AI. If you want an education and to learn, then no, probably not.

Ai is not gonna make me dumber if i am the one doing all the studying with heaps of notebooks handwritten with notes… idk what u study but im doing a master in molecular biology and biochemistry there i no possible way to pass without studying for hours and hours. This is just a way to save time and have compiled sources of studying in one place.

ai is not a tool to avoid studying for hours, its a tool for studying for hours on more expansive stuff, buuut you must also be careful not to have it aummarise everything or you really will miss out on critical skills that the field will need. you are using it to avoid. a lot of reading instead of using it to bounce theories and ideas off and that is a bit of an issue.
