That's a lot of bon-scientific blogs to talk about the non-scientific study I pointed out. Still no objective evidence.
I didn't say much about the "hominem" but I think you're defining Microsoft? They don't need you to dot shit buddy.
You have yet to refute the deduction based argument:
If you use the machine to think for you, you will stop thinking.
Not thinking leads to a degradation of thinking skills
Therefore, using machine to think for you will lead to a degradation of thinking skills.
This is not inductive reasoning, like a study, where you look at data and induce a conclusion. This is pure reasoning. Refute it.
They are a bunch of blogs of people sharing that, after utilizing AI for extended periods of time, their ability to solve problems degraded because they stopped thinking and sharpening their cognitive skills.
So what would satisfy your need for objective evidence? What would I need to show you for you to change your mind? How would a satisfactory study be conducted?
"Defining Microsoft"... I didn't define Microsoft?
Did you mean "Defend"? What do you mean "defend"? Again, ad hominem. Instead of substantiating why it is you say the document doesn't count, you attack the ones who made it.
All your dismissals and you have yet to refute the argument all these people make:
If you use the machine to think for you, you will stop thinking.
Not thinking leads to a degradation of thinking skills
Therefore, using machine to think for you will lead to a degradation of thinking skills.
All you have to do is refute this argument and my then it will be up to me to defend myself. Refute the argument. It's deductive reasoning.
