Shouldn't be, can be, should. How can we assess if a student has used AI "correctly" to further their understanding vs. used it to bypass a course they don't believe adds value to their education?

> Someone who can't read literature in their field (whether that's a Nature paper or a business proposal or a marketing tweet) shouldn't rely on AI to think for them

That's exactly what tons of pro-AI people are doing. There's an argument to be made that that's the intended purpose for the tool. Artificial Intelligence, sold on the basis to augment your own mental acuity with that of a machine. Well, what if you're a person whom doesn't have much acuity to augment? Like it's mean but those people exist.
