Lots one could say here. First it kind of feels like the old saying
"you won't always have a calculator in your pocket so learn the math" we all heard. And now we all have a calculator. This seems like the next moment similar to the calculator saying. Kids using Ai to help with papers and "cheat". Teachers trying to detect Ai usage and punish kids. I imagine there will one day be a shift and instead of punishing kids will instead be taught how to use Ai to help with papers but also shown how to also verify the information and possibly tested if they remember any of the information.
The goal of teaching should be to help students gain knowledge. Ai in my opinion has potential to be a great tool for learning. Not just writing complete papers, that isn't great. But tasks like summarizing articles to more quickly determine if they are relevant. Or to read articles to students as many struggle to read well no matter how much they try.
I know there are some cons to Ai and learning but I think with the right attitude it could be a powerful tool for students.
