    Except the whole point of education is to LEARN how to do it without these tools. If you’re just turning your brain off and handing in the output, you are literally missing the point.

    It’s like using calculators on steroids. There are times to use calculators and times to force mental math. You can teach kids AI literacy and usage habits, but letting them just use no thinking makes the entire exercise pointless. We might as well close schools, because having the AI generated your math homework or essay is fucking pointless.

      You wildly misunderstood my post. Firstly, I’m not suggesting students turn their brains off. Secondly, how you learn isn’t relevant to the demonstration and application of that knowledge, which is precisely why I said in person assessment is the optimal way. You ask the student and watch them, live. This is how you defend a thesis, in front of a live panel. No tools, no cheating, just your knowledge.

      What I am suggesting is that the system should adapt to the reality of the technology.
