Funny enough, calculators went through this exact same thing when they came out. "If the calculator can do math for the students, will they still learn?"

We didn't have confused people claiming calculators were human-like intelligences doing math.
We did have that, people thought computers would overtake humans very soon when computers got better than humans at such things. It happens every single time computers do a new thing that previously humans were better at. Then 10 years later people see, oh that is just calculations, of course computers are better at that.
Sorry I don't follow what argument you're making?
They seem to be making a religious argument at this point. They don't like that the AI is a very poorly defined term and they are mad as hell about it to the point of irrational forum posting.
