[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]

Kids need to learn to edit their own work before they start relying on AI to do it.  Similarly for brainstorming and all the other 'good" uses of AI.

Frankly even adults who previously built skills are seeing them eroded by depending on AI for them, like people with previously strong muscles seeing them wither after being confined to bed for months.  But at least adults built those muscles in the first place.  It's an absolute travesty when kids never struggle through learning and getting better at certain skills because AI can do it for them "better."[/quote]
