It's the opposite.
> focused upon memorization and regurgitation
This is what is easy to test in-class.
Teachers worry about AI because they do not just care about memorization. Before AI, being able to write cohesive essays about a subject is a good proxy to prove your understanding beyond simple memorization. Now it's gone.
A lazy, irresponsible teacher who only cares about memorization will just grade students via in-class multi choices tests exclusively and call it a day. They don't need to worry about AI at all.

Take-homes were never a good proxy for anything because any student can pay for private "lessons" and get their homework done for them. > A lazy, irresponsible teacher who only cares about memorization will just grade students via in-class multi choices tests exclusively and call it a day. They don't need to worry about AI at all. What stops a diligent responsible teacher from doing in-class essays?
- SunshineTheCat 11mo agoAgain, the essay you're talking about is the "regurgitation." Who do you think will "learn" archery quicker? The kid writing an essay about it or the kid shooting a bow?

- raincole 11mo agoIf it's your definition of "regurgitation," then I consider "regurgitation" the most important part of learning. > Who do you think will "learn" archery quicker? The kid writing an essay about it or the kid shooting a bow? The kid who imitates good archer's posture and motion.
