This is fair if you're just copy-pasting answers, but what if you use the AI to teach yourself concepts and learn things? There are plenty of ways to avoid hallucinations, data-poisoning and obtain scientifically accurate information from LLMs. Should that be off the table as well?

Dumb take because inaccuracies and lies are not unique to LLMs.

half of what you’ll learn in medical school will be shown to be either dead wrong or out of date within five years of your graduation.

https://retractionwatch.com/2011/07/11/so-how-often-does-medical-consensus-turn-out-to-be-wrong/ and that's 2011, it's even worse now.

Real studying is knowning that no source is perfect but being able to craft a true picture of the world using the most efficient tools at hand and like it or not, objectively LLMs are pretty good already.

In terms of grade school, essay and projects were of marginal or nil educational value and they won't be missed.

Until the last 20 years, 100% of the grade for medicine was by exams.
