12.12.2025 17:08 โ ๐ 22 ๐ 14 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0The real tragedy isnโt that students use ChatGPT to do their course work. Itโs that universities are teaching everyoneโstudents, faculty, administratorsโto stop thinking. We're outsourcing discernment. Students graduate fluent in prompting, but illiterate in judgment; faculty teach but arenโt allowed the freedom to educate; and universities, eager to appear innovative, dismantle the very practices that made them worthy of the name. We are approaching educational bankruptcy: degrees without learning, teaching without understanding, institutions without purpose.

13.11.2025 15:27 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Last spring, Shiri Melumad, a professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, gave a group of 250 people a simple writing assignment: Share advice with a friend on how to lead a healthier lifestyle. To come up with tips, some were allowed to use a traditional Google search, while others could rely only on summaries of information generated automatically with Googleโs artificial intelligence. The people using A.I-generated summaries wrote advice that was generic, obvious and largely unhelpful โ eat healthy foods, stay hydrated and get lots of sleep! The people who found information with a traditional Google web search shared more nuanced advice about focusing on the various pillars of wellness, including physical, mental and emotional health. The tech industry tells us that chatbots and new A. search tools will supercharge the way we learn and thrive, and that anyone who ignores the technology risks being left behind. But Dr. Melumadโs experiment, like other academic studies published so far on A.Ls effects on the brain, found that people who rely heavily on chatbots and A.I search tools for tasks like writing essays and research are generally performing worse than people who donโt use them.
What's striking isn't the growing number of studies finding negative effects from using AI - in this case, to have it summarize research for you (vs. searching individual sources yourself) - but the kneejerk tendency of those reporting them to ask how best to use AI (vs. whether we need it at all).

I agree 100%. AND we also have to address reasons teachers may be turning to AI: Teachersโ work is unsustainable given low pay and demands on their time. They typically arenโt compensated for the hours spent after work reading and evaluating studentsโ work.
