Abstract: Generative AI has rapidly become embedded in students’ academic routines, offering unprecedented support for brainstorming, drafting, summarizing, and problem-solving. However, its growing use has also raised concerns about whether it strengthens students’ intellectual engagement or gradually weakens their independent thinking. This study examines the extent to which generative AI functions as an aid or a substitute in higher education, with particular attention to its influence on students’ critical thinking and verification practices. Grounded in the concepts....
