In school exams when they have access to AI? Sure. In actual real world afterwards? I doubt it.
If all you do during school is ask LLMs to do most of the work for you, all you'll know by the end is how to prompt LLMs. Which is not actually a difficult skill to learn, by design, so if you focus on it instead of everything else you'll lose out.
Hopefully the education system adapts and invents ways to meaningfully integrate AI into classwork while forcing students to learn to think for themselves still. Otherwise the next generations will be even more cooked than mine.
That's the same, "you with have a calculator everywhere you go" argument. A lot of company's let you use AI on the job, and everyone has AI in there phone today.
Well, yes, it is. Kids who used calculators to cheat with basic arithmetic will often struggle with learning more advanced concepts later on because they didn't get a "feel" for numbers, and I strongly suspect the same will happen with kids who start using LLMs before they know how research works.
It is totally appropriate to use calculators when you can already have an intuition for small numbers, and in just the same way students should learn to use LLMs, but only when they already know how to write and think and research stuff. Curriculum needs to adapt to this quickly, otherwise we will end up with a generation that outsources all their thinking to techbros.
