I think the reality is that you should focus on and serve the 2c group (best students who use AI to fill gaps or speed up learning). We have 10s of thousands (or more) students taking advanced math every year. Only a slice of those pursue PhDs and even fewer contribute anything meaningful.

This is how it has been for years and AI doesn't really stunt that as long as students actually care about learning the material. Those kids will be fine. The kids that are fulfilling a prereq will be fine, for the most part, but will walk on crutches their whole lives (use AI) which might be a reasonable choice.

What we lose is the signal of which kids are interested in learning and which kids aren't. Grades and effort used to be the signal, now I think it has to be more about engagement" who asks questions, who comes in with strange ideas, who actually is struggling at times (actually grappling with the material) or learning things outside of the assignments.

Big picture, I think teachers should focus on teaching the learners and trying to motivate more students to join them. That has been the real job all along, AI just lays it bare.
