📖 Read the story
Artificial intelligence, or AI, is a very useful tool. It can write stories and solve math problems. However, some people are worried. They think AI can make us lazy. Scientists recently studied this. They found that if AI does all your work, you might forget how to do it. For example, some students used AI for their math homework. Later, when they had no AI, they could not solve the problems. They did not practice, so their brains did not learn. Scientist Trent Cash says we should use AI like a coach. A coach helps you, but you still do the work yourself. This helps your brain stay strong. Our brains need exercise just like our bodies. If you use AI the right way, you can learn many new things. Just remember to keep thinking for yourself!
