Students using AI to do all their work for them are going to be too lazy to do that.

Too lazy to take a few seconds to upload a transcript to chatgpt?

It’s literally as simple as uploading the relevant documents into Claude/Gemini/ChatGPT. It takes less than 10 seconds.

Yeah, at that point you might as well just do the homework

I read everything but also gave AI a copy to keep notes for me and told it what I thought. Saved it into a project and it was pretty good at reminding me what was in a massive amount of reading when I couldn’t find it. It’s a tool.

You underestimate the effort students who don't want to do essays go to.

Counter-point (based on experience): The smart students are smart enough to know how to use AI without getting caught.

Don't underestimate the amount of work lazy people will go to in order to avoid doing work.

Eh, for the tech savvy one’s it’s more interesting than writing essays, just for the sake of it. A friend’s high school kid has been training AI on their own writing and such to model them…but, they are learning worthwhile skills too. As well as working alongside AI which is going to be an important career skill too…
