Although this article (see Opinion | The Problem With Google’s A.I. Overview - The New York Times ) is not directly related to education, it discusses the effects that systematically using AI chatbots to get answers to any online question can have on developing and maintaining an individual's capacity for curiosity.
The author explains how curiosity, the ability to learn, and the capacity to seek answers are closely linked. Unfortunately, online searches are increasingly reduced to reading and copying the result provided by the AI chatbot at the top of the page. To be fair sometimes this summary can be very well done and contains a lot of useful information, at least to begin with. However, a large proportion of users are often satisfied with this answer and are less and less inclined to explore the other suggested answers, links, and websites that are also proposed.
Several problems then arise. Among them, the fact that people begin to be satisfied with a ready-made, summarized answer makes them more susceptible to absorbing content and answers that may be superficial, incomplete, or biased and they would become unable to evaluate this. Beyond reducing their capacity for curiosity, such users risk losing the ability to develop critical judgment or to confront and evaluate different sources of material, sometimes providing answers developed in different contexts.
