Even setting aside all of those things, the whole point of school is that you learn how to do shit; not pass it off to someone or something else to do for you.
If you are just gonna use AI to do your job, why should I hire you instead of using AI myself?
I went to school in the 1980s. That was the time that calculators were first used in class and there was a similar outcry about how children shouldn’t be allowed to use them, that they should use mental arithmetic or even abacuses.
Sounds pretty ridiculous now, and I think this current problem will sound just as silly in 10 or 20 years.
I see your point, but calculators(good ones, at least) are accurate 100% of the time. AI can hallucinate, and in a medical settings it is crucial that it doesn’t. I use AI for some insignificant tasks but I would not want it to replace my doctor’s learning.
Also, calculators are used to help kids work faster, not to do their work for them. Classroom calculators(the ones my schools had, at least) didn’t solve algebraic equations, they just added, subtracted, multiplied, divided, exponentiated, rooted, etc. Those are all things that can be done manually but are rudimentary and slow.
I get your point but AI and calculators are not quite the same.
lol I remember my teachers always saying “you won’t always have a calculator on you” in the 90’s and even then I had one of those calculator wrist watches from Casio.
And I still suck at math without one so they kinda had a point, they just didn’t make it very well.
