I mean this feels like an obvious result. Are we thinking this is ground breaking?
Like comparing 3 ways of making a table, hand tools, power tools or paying someone to make it for you. Then asking which required the most effort.
I mean I know it's important to confirm even expected results but this feels so intuitive.
No it's more complex than that. In the final session, participants were swapped between the LLM and Brain groups, and the effects persisted to some extent.
So it's worse than "using an LLM doesn't engage your brain", it's more like "using an LLM actually makes you dumber."
It seems intuitive but also 2000 years ago people thought that for example the eye emitting some sort of substance that interacts with the surrounding environment to be an intuitive explanation for how vision works, so intuitions need to be tested.
Damnit. Eye lasers would have been so much cooler though.
And thus, ray-tracing was born.
I'm glad scientists think otherwise, or we would still be living in the dark ages.
In other news, dark ages are a myth disproven by science.
Well for one the historical field is part of the humanities and for second dark ages are certainly a thing just not the medieval dark age. The Greek dark age is most certainly a thing for example.
It’s so easy to pontificate instead of actually doing studies, right?
