If you resort to luddism simply because technology (like anything) can be abused, you are failing your students and not preparing them for the modern world.
Maybe, maybe not. If it’s a project or a paper, sure, this genie isn’t going back in the bottle so might as well acclimate. And also judge harshly for error since that’s kinda the big reason you don’t trust the things outright.
If it’s a closed book exam or some other “prove you know this” like showing your math work, then it’s an effective method of preventing cheating. More or less, bit of an arms race with that.
Is is really extra steps? Or just similar but different ones? Learning how to do research was part of my backwater curriculum. LLMs need the same warnings I got about Wikipedia, only much stronger. They should never be trusted outright because they are wrong so very often.
One of my cousins is a high school history teacher, they solve the AI problem by making the students hand write everything. :)

Very good points. But the original commenter said they made the students hand-write “everything”, so I assumed it was daily work.
I think if they use AI enough to memorize the data and repeat it manually, isn’t that just studying with extra steps? 🤔
Then you’re adding in the AI’s hallucinations on top of wathever errors you might have made.
