Totally agree with the way that llms and AI is currently. I would not want to see it in the classroom, especially with my children.
How come? I mean if used as a tool to accelerate learning, concepts and to allow students to learn things in a personalized fashion, it could be a great tool. I would say multiple choice tests aren't great, but the invention of the Scantron certainly freed up instructor time to focus on teaching rather than grading.
It accelerates learning by skipping over the most crucial part, the thinking part. Things like the scantron on the other hand accelerates it by skipping tedious parts where there was almost no thinking to begin with.
And yes, while calculators might also skip some of that, its in my opinion not comparable as you still need to understand how to get to the solution when using an calculator.
Same process for AI. If you don't understand how to use it, then it's useless. Same thing with search engines, if you had 'Google-Fu' you could find anything. That's any and all technology. If you know how to use a tool, it's useful. But don't give a person the wrong tool for the job, especially when they don't know what they are doing.
