[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My high schooler essentially uses it as an editor and it is fantastic. They also use it to study (guides, quizzes, etc...). It's almost like a peer tutor or teacher (that must be vetted). I myself put a lot of my writing through as an editor. And I've asked for citations. And I've used it to get email tone right.

I'm also a professor. I see good uses and bad. From students and colleagues. Including one who used it to write a non-sensical annual review that I have to ask them to rewrite.

I have no issue with this policy whatsoever. How do they implement and enforce it consistently? That's a challenge. [/quote]

I think there's a world of difference on using it as an adult, with real-world work and life experience and a fully-formed brain using AI responsibly, judiciously in the way you described.

It's another for the adolescent, developing brain, which has none of those things and needs the tension and conflict of struggling through ideas and revising those ideas to develop real intelligence.

There's an argument to be made for some kind of exposure to AI as a research tool in responsible ways at the high school level, but I think we're a long ways off from understanding how to set those boundaries in ways that are safe and helpful, much less operationalizing that at scale in our school system.[/quote]
