Some examples
- Skipping math practice with AI means tests get scary fast
- Letting AI write essays means you cannot really write one yet
- AI shortcuts feel like winning today and losing tomorrow
- Teachers can usually tell when an answer was not yours
Try it!
Pick one homework you usually rush. Try doing it without AI first, then ask AI to check. Notice how it feels.
