Meanwhile, I spend a non-trivial amount of time every week deflecting questions that could reasonably be solved by a well-crafted Google query... Schools would be much better off fostering curiosity, self-reliance, tool use, and practical problem solving rather than the all-too-common busy work. So I can relate to what they're saying (to a degree) about AI. This acutely reminds me of the transition from basic calculators & lookup tables to scientific calculators to graphing calculators to mathematica/maple. At every step, people said "that's cheating". Now we just accept them as tools. Life moves on.
