## Resource

We've all sat through the fearmongering presentations about how #AI is going to ruin human intelligence. On this #StudyFinds episode of #ProveItPod, Dr. Matt Law tears apart a new study on how ChatGPT impacts learning and thinking. Does it actually make us lazy? We look at the trace data of how people use AI, why it creates beautiful products with zero actual learning, and how #safety professionals can avoid "rubber-stamp syndrome" when using AI to write safety programs and assess the likelihood of workplace risks.
