AI (Artificial Intelligence) is changing the way we learn and the way teachers teach. Grammar checkers, AI “humanizers,” and AI detectors are all affecting how students think. In this day and age, students get assigned homework and can instantly turn to AI to do the work for them. Many students use programs like ChatGPT to get help with essays, and sometimes teachers even use AI for grading or planning lessons more efficiently. This can be both good and bad.
The benefits of AI are obvious: you ask it a question and it gives you an answer. You can use it to study or help you understand something you missed in class. AI can even tailor responses to each student's needs. But while it can be helpful, the downside is that students might limit their creativity and thinking because they have quick, easy access to something that does the work for them.
Students shouldn’t rely on AI for all the answers but should use it for guidance. Sometimes teachers aren’t clear when explaining how to do something, and asking AI can be a great resource. But copying and pasting isn’t a real solution. Using AI may be helpful, but the downside is that students may be limiting their creativity and thinking because they have quick and easy access to artificial intelligence.
Overall, AI is a great tool if you use it the right way. Don’t let AI do your homework for you. Use it for guidance, feedback, and support, not as a replacement for your own thinking.
