Its not teaching. These people cant pass a the class. They never went through the friction needed to learn

  It depends how you use it. You can either get it to explain a concept, or do your homework for you. Its a bit like the decision students have to make as to whether to review their material before exams or go out partying. Overall it just seems like a huge waste of money to piss away the huge tuition cost your parents probably paid.

  You can use an llm to get out of doing homework but you can also use it to ask every question you would ever wanted in a 1-1 tutoring session. The problem is kids will use it to cheat on their homework. If we can’t deal with that problem then a ban is necessary. But these things can be phenomenal teachers if you use them properly.

    As an educator, this is exactly what I struggle with. I'm pulling out all the stops to give students every chance to do the hard work and not lean on AI. But there's a good chunk of the class who don't listen to reason. I haven't figured it out yet. They know, logically, they can't pass an interview, but that's apparently a "tomorrow" problem. The smart ones either use it not at all, or use it to positive effect, like you're saying.

These people should be doing manual work, not intellectual work. There is no shortage of manual work available.
