Is it true that using AI assistants for learning tasks reduces learning outcomes or critical thinking compared with learning without them?
Partly. Two small studies report that heavy reliance on AI tools is associated with reduced critical thinking, reflective thinking and learning outcomes, while a small case study and a general overview report AI use supporting or improving learning. All findings are narrow in population or scope, so the evidence only partially addresses the claim.
