A recent article<\/a> by James D. Walsh in New York Magazine<\/em>, widely circulated among academics, reported that \u201cjust two months after OpenAI launched ChatGPT [in 2022], a survey of 1,000 college students found that nearly 90 percent of them had used the chatbot to help with homework assignments\u201d. The use of Generative-AI chatbots for required coursework is, if anything, even more widespread today. At elite universities, community colleges, and everything in between, students are using AI to take notes in class, produce practice tests, write essays, analyze data, and compose computer code, among other things. A freshman seems to speak for entire cohorts of undergraduates when she admits that \u201cwe rely on it, [and] we can\u2019t really imagine being without it\u201d. An article in The Chronicle of Higher Education<\/em> quotes multiple students who are effectively addicted<\/a> to the technology, and are distressed at being unable to kick the habit \u2014 because, as an NYU senior confesses, \u201cI know I am learning NOTHING.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
