During my medical school journey , I have notice one of the trend that many student realise on the AI tools like Chatgpt or Gemini not only for quick doubts but also for everyday day to day examination which distance the students from the core habits of reading the standard textbook.
Medicine is the field which requires the conceptual clarity and critical thinking and clinical judgement too. While AI can provide the quick explanation but it may be some time inaccurate also.
As said every coin has a two faces , AI also has a powerful positive side. Where tools like NotebookLm is insanely good when it comes to how technology advancement has done.
I myself has used it during my preparation where you just upload your standard textbooks and just start asking whatever doubts whatever questions you have in your mind it will give the answer not based on the internet but rather than on the same textbook text that you have uploaded. It’s kinda win win situation for a medical student as they can learn from the standard textbook using the technology.
So yes, the key is balance.
Artificial intelligence can act as a learning assistant but not the primary teacher.
Use AI wisely. Let it support your learning, not replace it.
