The thing is that people get a calculator after they understood how the operations work and have mastered them.

With AIs, it's the same. It's not an issue if your teacher gives you an assignment that allows our requires you to use it. But using it despite not being allowed to is cheating. Same as the calculator.

So you master the creation and development of the mobile phone PC?

It's not a black and white issue IMO.

Edit: so much anger in this thread, and so much stupidity. No wonder the anti-ai boys are frowned upon.

The point still stands. If you get an assignment, you can use the tools that are allowed. If ai isn't allowed, using it is cheating. It's not a hard concept.

Exactly. There's a finite amount of time available to teach somebody all of the useful skills needed to live life and build skills for a career.

Schools are no longer teaching cursive, or if they do, they don't spend a lot of time on it. Same thing with all of the manual math operations. Learning algebra is more important. Hell, learning how to use a calculator is more important.
