> So we went to through a rewrite exercise like in the article, improving the essay and our understanding of the issues. The lesson you tought your son is far more valuable than what he could have possibly learned writing the essay as intended. AI is a tool he can use to augmentent his capabilities. But he shouldn't rely on it blindly. That's true for every technology (remember the Graphing Calculator on PowerPC Macs?). > Next time I see her, I'll urge the teacher to adopt a similar approach as in the article. Don't. This gives your son a competitive advantage over the kids who will simply turn up what the AI wrote (and get a 0) or spend too long writing their own essays.
