"Trusting artificial intelligence over the real thing seems, per a new study, to be atrophying folks' critical thinking skills. As flagged by the folks at 404 Media, new research from Carnegie Mellon and Microsoft — yes, the same company that invested nearly $14 billion into OpenAI and is essentially subsidizing the ChatGPT maker — suggests that the more people use AI, to less critical thinking they do. "Used improperly, technologies can and do result in the deterioration of cognitive faculties that ought to be preserved," the researchers wrote in the paper. "A key irony of automation is that by mechanising routine tasks and leaving exception-handling to the human user, you deprive the user of the routine opportunities to practice their judgement and strengthen their cognitive musculature, leaving them atrophied and unprepared when the exceptions do arise."

It’s Banned Books Week and last year has seen an increase in reported challenges. Unfortunately, 2016 was unprecedented in another way by a book reaching the top ten solely because of its author. Bill Cosby‘s children’s book series was challenged because of criminal sexual allegations against him. His name is now also going down in the history of banned or challenged books!

Digging more into statistics from 2016 is a bit disheartening considering the top five books challenged were because of LGBT content. Though if you consider books by or featuring diverse people as a whole, 2015 may have been worse since arguably nine of the books on the list that year fit such criteria. Objections to such content go far back in the pages of history. Accordingly it disappoints me greatly to see continued strong opposition to diverse fiction that not only serves to help people recognize commonalities present between us all but, also inspire or comfort individuals.
