@mattjhayes I agree. Very unfortunate. I've retired from teaching and would not want to think up new ways to teach all that we used to teach through writing. I do see signs of creative thinking on that front. But I can't tell how effective it is. Some of it looks more like damage control than teaching. Some of it takes the form of suggesting, "use AI this particular way" (e.g. ask it to raise objections to your own positions and arguments, then answer those objections). Some suggestions along those lines could be very beneficial when followed. But they needn't be followed. Or those uses of AI could be conjoined with other uses to shortcut thinking. I'm not defeatist, just grateful for my own cultivation of thinking through unassisted writing.
