I dunno, they’re here to stay. Cat’s out of the box. Educators and education need to adapt. In person assessment is probably the ideal way to gauge progress and learning, but due to resources I don’t see it being practical.
People keep saying this as though it’s true. The odds that this current era of free and ubiquitous access to these frontier LLMs lasts forever are pretty slim.
Except the whole point of education is to LEARN how to do it without these tools. If you’re just turning your brain off and handing in the output, you are literally missing the point.
It’s like using calculators on steroids. There are times to use calculators and times to force mental math. You can teach kids AI literacy and usage habits, but letting them just use no thinking makes the entire exercise pointless. We might as well close schools, because having the AI generated your math homework or essay is fucking pointless.

My point exactly. Same thing with just looking up the answer on Google or whatever
