TFA is about students learning a language (German). How can a student critically verify AI output of a supposedly German sentence if the student does not speak German?

I guess you are knee-jerking and confounding two notions: a) learning something, b ) using something, which are not the same. Using something that already knows something else is as old as pie, to wit, my tax advisor. If I want to be a tax advisor myself, I have to learn this shit and not outsource to another tax adsvisor. Typewriters help students learning a language by removing a distraction. Should the students to this themselves? Yes, but we all should spend less time on the internet, yet we don't. This tells us something ;)
