I think you and GP agree with each other. Regardless, IMO this is where the discussion becomes too hypothetical: • Right now, AIs are bad at writing. • If a student is able to masterfully craft a prompt which causes today's bad AIs to produce good writing, that student is talented, and I suspect they actually did a significant amount of work. • If today's bad AIs are able to produce assignments which receive passing grades with minimal prompting, something is wrong with the assignment. Teachers should assign work that isn't so rote a computer can do it. • If, in the future, AIs are able to write strong, well-reasoned essays about novel concepts, students won't need to learn how to write. They may not need to learn much of anything†, because I don't think there will be much space left for humans in the workforce. ----- † "Need" is a key word here; I do believe in learning for its own sake, and apparently we'll have lots of time on our hands. Cool story btw, learning how to develop film in a dark room is lots of fun, would recommend.
