OP here: I definitely agree that shallow learning is an issue, and that it's an intoxicating effect. I've done it a few times — spent a few minutes learning a new topic, only to realize when I put it into practice that I'd been lied to.

But that's why it's critical to engage kids in this. There's a skill in using AI. Resisting the urge to take it at it's word, yet still using it for what it's good at. You can't build a skill without practice.
