Because when it is, students cannot do it.”* https://www.reddit.com/r/Professors/comments/1vkw6by/how_do_you_know_an_assignment_is_ai_proof_because/“I assign a profile essay. Have for 30 years. Student interviews a person, records it, writes a paper based off the recording. Citations are timestamps. Should be pretty easy. Has been easy pre-AI. Now, students cannot do it.”Snippet from professor/student dialog:====Prof: ”Start with what you found interesting.”Student: ”How do I know if something’s interesting?”Prof: ”You’re asking me how you find something interesting?”Student: ”Yeah.” ====Chatbots / LLMs are not just "the latest tools" like using a calculator instead of doing arithmetic yourself.Students are being robbed of curiosity, learning to discover and notice novelty, how to “find something interesting.”This isn't cognitive enhancement, this is a tool causing brain rot (loss of curiosity), even a developmental disability.
