I’ve been working with so many students who turn to it as a first resort for everything. The second a problem stumps them, it’s AI. The first source for research is AI.

It’s not even about the tech, there’s just something about not wanting to learn that deeply upsets me. It’s not really something I can understand. There is no reason to avoid getting better at writing.

Academic writing is really hard. It requires intense concentration over a long period of time. I don't know that your kids would be doing more work if they didn't have AI- they'd probably just do what I did, phone in a shitty paper they churned out the night before/2 weeks late, because they could only start when they sufficiently felt like they were going to throw up from stress.

Bad writing practice is still a million times better than no writing practice

I don’t just see it for essays, but short answer response. Single sentence stuff and math problems. Kids to adults.

Just for the record, that doesn't really sound normal, sounds like ADHD. You should be able to start when you want to sell in advance and not have to wait until the last minute to get your focus going

RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.
