DevOps Accents, episode 64: Chat GPT is making you dumber (not a clickbait, there is a research for that)

Chat GPT affects yout ability to think critically! But does it actually make you “dumber,” or does it free up mental bandwidth for more meaningful work? Together with data scientist Paul Larsen, we unpack recent studies from Microsoft and MIT, real cases from software development and education, and translate it into practical rules: when it’s safe to delegate to AI and when you should deliberately “work the mental muscles” yourself (code review, testing, architectural decisions). We also touch on the org-level effect: what happens to a team’s skills if engineers become AI babysitters, and how to build proper model monitoring and evaluation instead of endless human-in-the-loop, and what companies can do to minimize risks.
