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.
You completely missed my point. Everything you said that was bad is them using the tool improperly for the goal you stated. That’s on the student and teacher, not the tool.
If the goal is learn to write, then the tool should be used to analyze the work you wrote and provide objective criticism so you can refine it. Instructing the AI to just write the final draft of the assignment for you is what I would call using a hammer to cook Thanksgiving dinner.
Is there a new problem for teachers to figure out how to test for mastery of a subject? Yep. That sucks for them. Teachers always have impossible tasks forced on them by society. I still don’t blame the tool for any of that.
I think what you actually hate is irresponsible use of tools to nefarious or counterproductive ends.
