What a sad article.

AI is here to stay, and our students need to learn how to use it. But they also need to learn. In many cases it is precisely the things that AI apparently does –identifying important information, assessing its relevance, creating a case or argument and expressing it coherently – that students need to learn how to do for themselves. These skills are not just means to an end, they are what an education is supposed to provide. And they can enrich the lives of those who acquire them in many more ways than their vocational or functional usefulness.

I recall a number of times here on OLO when I pointed out the inadequacies of academic mentality, thinking & subsequent lack of substance & usefulness to society. I was labelled anti-Academic & being an Academic hater !
I find this article quite amusing despite the terrible reality.
