AI in school 3

(cont'd from yesterday's post)

Studying and learning are hard work. What if you, as a student, could delegate writing  assignments to artificial intelligence? That would mean less work, more free time, and it's super tempting. So students do it all the time . . even in writing classes.

A 20-year veteran of teaching gave it up because of that fact of life. Many students will do whatever they can to spare themselves the discomfort of difficult work. Thinking things through and communicating that through your own carefully constructed writing can be difficult. 

She was trying to teach writing at the college level, which includes reading and returning feedback to the student. Sadly, she discovered that most of her instructive feedback was a total waste because it was directed toward the AI that "wrote" it. So she quit.

If a student doesn't discipline himself to learn how to think and write, he's going to be at a disadvantage for the rest of his life to people who did learn it. 

How is our education system going to handle this?
