I’ve been working with so many students who turn to it as a first resort for everything. The second a problem stumps them, it’s AI. The first source for research is AI.

It’s not even about the tech, there’s just something about not wanting to learn that deeply upsets me. It’s not really something I can understand. There is no reason to avoid getting better at writing.

Research and in class seem to be at odds

    When I was at university in the late '90s, back when EbscoHost was just gaining a foothold, my biology professor required us to turn in physical copies of every article we cited along with our term papers. I spent hours copying journal articles in the periodicals section of the library that semester.

    Professors absolutely could say, "Bring copies of the articles you want to cite to class so you can write your research paper by hand."

    But the research still happened outside, right? Not sure if you imply you had to actually write in the class, but gathering the relevant papers/info is the bulk of the research, and they was done somewhere else.
