I think I learn a decent amount from AI so I’m legitimately torn on this, but I guess an analogy I might turn to would be something like “fork lifts are great! But don’t bring them to the gym to do your heavy lifting.”

Cara are great! But a one hour drive serves a different purpose from a one hour run. Running doesn’t make me a Luddite.

So I think - it will continue to be important to “do the reps” so to speaks. Build mental models. Read long form. Do crossword puzzles. Think on your feet and have in person conversations.

I think / if a university carries the responsibility of credentialing you, they equally carry the responsibility of ensuring you didn’t bring a fork lift to the gym.

I think it is kinda good to ban for first years. I remember in my degree (not law) there were specific weed out courses. This might serve as a way to do so in a day when AI is so unregulated
