Because it really does raise the question "what is the point of you?" in a lot of situations.I have unfortunately become something of an expert in this as an IB Diploma teacher. Cheating using AI is a huge and growing problem, and it completely undermines my job. A student handing in bad writing is great - it means there is lots to work with and learning can happen. A student handing in AI-massaged or even entirely AI written work may as well not even bother.AI work is also extremely generic and easily recognizable. And yes, I am very aware of the many hacks students can use to try to disguise their use of AI tools. They are mostly very obvious unless the student knows the material so well that they would have been better off without. The most important thing about student writing is that it read like something only they could have written, and if it doesn't...well, what's the point of them? To be an AI-delivery system?I do think AI has an important role when it is being used to extend human creativity, perhaps by handling rote tasks or helping us past certain boundaries and thus extending our creativity. I'm not anti-AI. I use it myself! But we are only starting to grapple with the implications for how we live and work and learn.</blockquote>
