via the report published by MIT’s Ad Hoc Committee on AI Use in Teaching, Learning, and Research Training:

“Anecdotally, it appears that the rapid adoption of AI may already be affecting student well-being and creating new long-term challenges. Some students are becoming dependent on AI for schoolwork or emotional support; losing their sense of agency, purpose, and confidence; and worrying about their career prospects in an AI-saturated world. Instructors and other academic staff should be prepared to recognize AI-related academic, social, and emotional challenges and to direct students to appropriate support.”
