What a dumb article. Whenever you state that AI is helpful in an educational way because it "is better at writing essays" you clearly miss the point of going to college in the first place. The point is not to produce a well-written essay, the goal is to KNOW how to write a good essay. That's one of the skills you need to hone when going to college.

Outsourcing writing, or summarizing, or X to an AI system is like using a cheatsheet on an exam. Sure, you'll get a good grade, but you've learned nothing in the end.

And what has politics to do with this?
