The summer is over, schools are back, and the data is in: ChatGPT is mainly a tool for cheating on homework.::ChatGPT traffic dropped when summer began and schools closed. Now students are back, and they're using the AI tool again more.

So the homework is encouraging kids to explore a real life tool and the teacher can look at the result and corrects any issue with the result thus guiding the students towards a appropriate usage.

It's a good thing.

I bet calculator usage also goes up during the school year

I'm from the "show your work, you won't carry a calculator around when you're in the real world" generation. This hits home hard.

While im from the early "Not much in life needs manual calculation, and if it does we already have a calculator on us at all times" generation haha.

Honestly, I could work harder on practicing mental calculations even now, but I see vastly more value in continuing my learning of technology to improve my career and hobbies.

At the end of the day generative AI not only exists but is likely right at the start of a logistics curve. In ten years time this tech is going to be pervasive

Would you rather have them only use it outside of school work where no one will point out that it can be wrong? Teachers could also ask questions on the studied subject in class to teach student that by copy pasting the output they are not learning much.

ChatGPT exist, kid will use it. Should adults guide them?

Future generations learning how to utilize powerful new technologies is a bad thing now?
