How Far Should Generative AI Be Allowed in Education?
At our school, there was a controversy after students were caught using ChatGPT for assignments.
The professor said, 'If you use AI, cite your sources,' but the students argued, 'What's the problem if it helps us search and organize information?'
I think it's fine to use AI for drafting and then revise it yourself. The issue is when AI completely replaces the work.
But since AI detection technology will keep improving, in the end, we probably need more education on 'how to use it' rather than just banning it.

Agreed, AI detection technology will keep evolving, and ultimately education seems to be the answer.
But detection tech always gets bypassed lol. I think it's better to just mark it and let people use it.
I only use it for drafting too, but the problem is that if you leave it entirely to the AI, your skills won't improve.
Well, I think the professor is more correct. What's the problem with citing sources? Searching is helpful too.
There have been controversies about this for a long time... In the end, when the era of AI replacement comes, everything becomes meaningless.
I'm a student, and using ChatGPT for assignments saves time, but it actually backfires because it doesn't help organize my own thoughts. So these days, I hardly use it.
Disagree. Even using AI to draft something is essentially copying others' ideas. Doesn't real learning come from the process of racking your brain and struggling through it?
Are there still people who believe in AI detection technology? Honestly, as long as it's disclosed, I think it's all acceptable, and the priority should be teaching how to use it effectively. Professors are just too conservative.
