Is AI A Good Resource To Use In School?

By Mai’loni Thompson

Students sometimes think AI can be an easier resource for school because they can quickly get an answer. AI is a fast resource, but it’s not always right. AI can make mistakes too. My friend Dahnay said, “Just because AI gives you an answer does not mean the answer is automatically correct, so you should still check the information.”

Students can also start losing important learning skills if they depend on AI too much. Dahnay also said in our interview, “Some people have AI do every assignment for them, and they are not really learning the information themselves. AI should be used to help students learn, not just to do all of their work for them.”

Students should not depend on it for every assignment. If you use AI to help you learn, it can be useful, but if you use it to do everything for you, you are only hurting your own learning. AI should be used as a tool to support students, not replace the work they need to do themselves.

Overall, some students think AI is a good resource for learning because it can help with notes, studying, and understanding things they are confused about. It can also help students come up with ideas and learn information in different ways.
