Will the use of AI to complete daily tasks, particularly school work, impact cognitive abilities and creativity?
Recent work out of a MIT Media Lab suggests that people who used ChatGPT have lower brain engagement than those who did not when writing their essays. While the MIT Media Lab work has driven headlines recently, others have been quick to remind us that the fear of technology is nothing new.
We want to know: Is AI an addition to the technological toolbox, or should we be having bigger conversations about the impact of AI technology?

(Have seen this model used for 'glamping' at campgrounds where they leave them up permanently.) Bit heavy and slower to erect than the modern bendy pole things but so much nicer once they're up. (Well that's what we think anyway!) Only selling as now living in Australia; we have had some great holidays in this tent! Pick up only, from Island Bay 'til Thursday morning or from Camborne after that. Photos not great sorry - listing is just for the canvas tent, however the shade/gazebo is also available, plus some free camping equipment - enquire if interested.
Price: $250
