RULES:

I am looking for mods!

1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

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.

I didn't miss your point, I just disagree with it, and I told you why.

I disagree with your claim that you didn't miss my point. You didn't demonstrate understanding of my viewpoint, you just told me what your version of reality is.
