Like the Romans used to drink from lead cups. Something like that.

    The latest PISA study shows that students who heavily use LLMs are a full year behind their fellows who don’t.

      This overstates the findings by a lot, and borders on misinformation.

      How AI use relates to student performance is complex, varying with how students use it and what for. PISA data show that students who use AI for specific schoolwork tasks, such as summarising texts, drafting or conducting research, attain lower scores in science than students who do not use AI. In these scenarios, students who do not use AI outperform those who do, on average, by around 20 points – equivalent to being around one year of schooling ahead of their peers. However, weekly users of AI for general purposes have similar performance outcomes to non-users. Students who regularly use AI for general purposes, and have learning opportunities at school to develop AI literacy skills, tend to have slightly higher scores in science. However, these opportunities are more common among socio-economically advantaged students, risking a growing AI divide.

      Edit: I concede that “heavily use” exonerates you, but your comment still feels a little disingenuous to me.
