My little son has a buddy who uses AI bots intensively. The friend is actually very smart and capable, but he pays too much attention to the things he likes (programming and games) and ignores all other aspects of basic education. And he slips, mindlessly copying what the bot tells him. If this is a widespread trend, it's obviously very worrying, especially for young students. On the other hand, we have had many discussions with my son about the role of education, AI and what we need. Thankfully, my son understands that it's the struggle that we go through that helps us to understand and make the knowledge truly our own. Of course, I have to model my use of AI, pointing out its flaws and the dangers of mindlessly using bots. At the end of the day, it's the internal motivation that drives us. If you're not interested in knowledge and learning, having a genie to cheat is too tempting to resist.
