Yesterday I was disappointed that my friends’ 10 year old daughter was banned from using any AI to aid her in her projects. Apparently her teacher thinks it’s too easy to cheat with it, so it’s totally banned.

The young teacher was arguing that we should accept it and assume by default that students are using AI to write essays, work on projects and so on. Her pov was that schools should update their programmes and come up with in-school practices that teach students to continue working and analysing their home work. I liked her thinking direction
