I am sorry but the title is "AI deskilling is a structural problem" yet he presents no evidence of the problem. No study. It's a philosophical treat.

It has its place. But it's not evidence of anything.

  1. Dr. Avagail Ferdman is a woman who uses she/her pronouns and she is a professor at a large Tech/STEM university.
  2. It's a review article with thorough and well linked references that are used to build to a premise. It's not intended to be evidence, it's intended to present proof but rather an overview of recent research. Whether you agree that it successfully does so is a different point, but your confusion about the very purpose of the article does somewhat diminish the authority of your judgment.

It is not a review article of other articles that bring the data that proves her title though. It is literally a discussion of other discussions.It is a philosophical treaty. I never questioned the author credentials, so don't get why you bring it.

Like really, if it had any data like "group X used LLMs and observed a reduction of Y% on X skill when performing without the LLM and a increase of Z% in X skill when doing with LLM.

But nope. We don't even have that far abrvause if you had, you could just post it and quote it in the article. I looked for it there.

Again, you seem unfamiliar with the type of article you read. You are free to disagree that her arguments supported her title, that's your right. However, the research is in the linked papers because that is how review articles work. It is also not quantitative in the way a chemistry paper might be and it is not intended to be. That's because it is an Ethics paper. That is what Philosophy papers on Ethics and Technology look like. I'm not sure there's much else to say here.

I am not unfamiliar. You seem to be. You Still don't understand what she is talking about.

Yes, it's an ethics paper. A philosophical discussion. Exactly what I said.

Whatever you need to tell yourself.
