AI Proof Means Students Forget How to Think
I saw a professor talk about an assignment where students had to interview a real person, use the recording, and write about something they found interesting. What surprised me was students asking, “What part should I write about?” and even “How do I know what’s interesting?” That part got me thinking. If students need AI to tell them what to pick, what to say, and how to put it together, then even a simple assignment can become a struggle. Maybe the bigger problem with AI is not just students using it to write, but slowly getting used to having a machine make every little decision for them.
