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.

I recall getting points taken off in middle/high school if the only source was the world book dictionary.. So either find a book at the library or fire up the family computer hope the phone is free and search the '90s net for some source? (Avoiding the popups/unders) [and be fast as we only had so many mins/mo included]

    Well for example Wikipedia might link to a book that costs money or an article that's paywalled. Which for serious research it might be worth paying for but not for a random essay.
