We are living in times when AI is becoming a daily tool we use at work and at school.
A lot of students support themselves by using AI to learn new things, quickly find information, and extend their knowledge.
I am from a generation who finish schools and University before AI existed. During my Uni times, it was the Internet boom, and access to information started pushing out the need to visit a library to gain knowledge. Yet, despite all of that, I am proud that all my hard work put towards my education was my own.
In current times, a lot of students want to go the easy route. Same as with the workplace, where it’s hard to find a hard-working employee on very demanding job role for an average salary.
People no longer want to work hard to earn money. Everybody is looking into the easiest route earing tones of money by doing the minimum. It’s not working like that, at least not for the majority of us. If you are the person who thinks that’s how it’s working, if you are not a millionaire right now, then you are delusional.
Same with education. Knowledge that you gain is for you to be a better person in future. You’re learning stuff to use in your future life. If you decide to go the easy route and ask AI to write you a work that you will just copy and paste, then submit to a tutor, there is something significantly wrong here.
You can do this; nobody is stopping you (almost) from doing that, but how much are you learning from that?
