围绕人工智能是否应被比作“思维的自行车”这一争议性观点，澳大利亚科学界正发出严厉警告。Gemini声称AI是“思维的自行车”，能释放脑力用于更高层次的创造力和战略 1。对此，澳大利亚前首席科学家及神经科学专家Alan Finkel反驳称，大脑不需要“自行车”来组织思维，且AI旨在取代人类工作而非仅仅辅助 1。
实证研究数据支持了上述担忧。一项由香港大学与斯德哥尔摩大学合作的研究显示，在涉及2.7万名学生的样本中，使用AI辅助完成作业的学生虽家庭作业成绩提高，但在面对面课堂测试中的得分比未使用AI的学生低20% 1。与此同时，2026年8月的NAPLAN结果显示，所有年龄段的阅读和写作技能均呈下降趋势，三分之一儿童未达到基准线 1。此外，eSafety Commissioner八月报告指出，78%的澳大利亚儿童日常使用AI助手；其中ChatGPT最流行（占比70%），Gemini和Copilot各占20% 1。
面对潜在的技能丧失风险，墨尔本大学副教授Grant Blashki建议将AI视为“陪练伙伴”而非“替身”，并推行包含一对一面试的“确证学习”评估模式 1。
A comparative study involving 27,000 students has revealed that those who used AI tools to assist with homework scored 20% lower on in-person classroom tests than their peers who did not use such technology 1. Conducted by researchers from the University of Hong Kong and Stockholm University, the study divided participants into two equal groups of 13,500 1. It found that while AI-assisted students improved their take-home assignment grades, their performance in supervised settings significantly declined 1. These findings challenge the notion promoted by Gemini, which described AI as a "bicycle for the mind" capable of freeing cognitive resources for higher-level creativity and strategy 1.
Alan Finkel, Australia’s former Chief Scientist and a neuroscientist, argued that the human brain does not require external aids to organize thought processes and contended that AI is designed to replace rather than merely augment human work 1. This debate occurs against a backdrop of widespread adoption, with an August report from the eSafety Commissioner indicating that 78% of Australian children use AI assistants daily 1. ChatGPT remains the most popular tool, used by 70% of these children, while Gemini and Copilot are each used by 20% 1. Furthermore, recent NAPLAN results from August 2026 show declining reading and writing skills across all age groups, with one-third of children failing to meet baseline standards 1. Grant Blashki, an associate professor at the University of Melbourne, suggests reframing AI as a "sparring partner" instead of a substitute, advocating for assessment models like "verified learning" that include one-on-one interviews to ensure genuine comprehension 1.
