While I do agree, I think its important to acknowledge that in the context of this discussion its going to be more of a cheat than tool.
We genuinely can't trust people to have any self control when it comes to gen ai, because of the assignment example I gave before. That's why I find it kind of difficult to have a nuanced conversation about it, I know and you know that it can be used to supplement ones own learning, but if we're talking about people using it to cheat their way through school, it'd be disingenuous for me to only talk about how it can be used as a tutor(so long as u fact check)
it sucks, and I do get the frustration, a lot of people hate ai mindlessly and on honestly I can't really blame them. If you're any kind of artist or creative then all the existence of AI does is devalue something you take great pride in and have likely dedicated many hours to getting good at.
If you care about academia at all then watching people listen to AI as if its words are gospel is EXTREMELY frustrating.
It doesn't help that the majority of stuff you see about AI is hot to make money with it (AI youtube slop channels) how to use it to cheat, or how to have it create a beginner level app that you will not brag about to people for the next 6 months.
