The emergence of the highly efficient AI chatbot – ChatGPT has generated excitement and become a hot topic artificial intelligence (AI). While ChatGPT’s ability to mimic human conversation and perform repetitive tasks efficiently has raised expectations, concerns about its impact on the labor market and the potential weakening of human skills have also arisen.
The academic discussion on substituting of human labor by AI has overlooked the issues of how such applications affect individual abilities and learning. A recent study on the impact of technology on human productivity, specifically focusing on bug bounty programs in Python and Java, revealed a spillover effect for outsourced tasks. This finding suggests that relying solely on AI tools like ChatGPT for efficiency may deprive individuals of learning opportunities and ultimately erode their capabilities.
Therefore, caution should be exercised in the application of AI, allowing space for reflection on its impact on human abilities.
