If you use LLMs, this isn't a surprise.

> A prevailing concern is that generative AI encourages people to outsource their thinking to machines, which weakens understanding — known as "cognitive offloading." Through class, I realized this worry holds weight only if AI is treated like an omniscient oracle. When students are encouraged to experiment with and critique large language models (LLMs), AI becomes an on-demand study partner with benefits and drawbacks.
