Students have become reliant on AI tools like ChatGPT for writing essays and solving problems, leading educators to seek strategies for countering this trend. Initially, teachers tried using AI-generated content as a prompt for improvement but found that students favored AI over traditional learning methods. As a result, some teachers have returned to handwriting essays or shifted focus to subjects like American Sign Language, which offer a break from technology. The growing reliance on AI raises concerns about students' skills and the human element in education.
Students now rely on ChatGPT to write their essays and answer questions, leading to increased dependency on AI for outlines and examples instead of using their own skills.
Teachers initially thought AI could help by having students critique AI-generated essays, but students began to ask AI for answers rather than developing their own skills.
The fatigue from screen-based education is evident, and shifting to a subject untouched by AI, like ASL, provides a refreshing break for both students and teachers.
The shift to AI in education has led some teachers to revert to hand-written essays to combat cheating, while others seek subjects that retain the human element.
