As a student who has used these tools extensively, I can confirm that AI-assistance in learning does more harm than benefit. The struggle to learn, backtracking from an incorrect assumption and reflection after completing the objective are all short-circuited with agentic tool use. I don't have to say that these tools aren't useful, but I wish they wouldn't sell such an utopian dream of productivity. It's good for some, bad for most.

Earlier, I had to only keep my phone away and not open Instagram while studying. Now, even thinking can be partially offloaded to an automated system.
