I’ve been working with so many students who turn to it as a first resort for everything. The second a problem stumps them, it’s AI. The first source for research is AI.
It’s not even about the tech, there’s just something about not wanting to learn that deeply upsets me. It’s not really something I can understand. There is no reason to avoid getting better at writing.
AI just brought more subjects under the umbrella. Someone who wants to win spelling bee will not use autocorrect. They will use a dictionary or thesaurus or guidebooks, but will not delegate their knowledge to a tool. Why would a student interested in learning delegate that to a tool?
i can confirm i haven’t used any AI services in my maths homework in the last 2.5 years (since chatgpt came out) because i’m actually interested in maths. other students are not so they use AI. can’t blame them for it.
