This is super interesting. I think academia is going to need to clearly divide “learning” into two categories:
What you need to memorize.
What you need to understand.
If you’re being tested on how well you memorized something, using AI to answer questions is cheating.
If you’re being tested on how well you understand something, using AI during an exam isn’t going to help you much unless it’s something that could be understood very quickly. In which case, why are you bothering to test for that knowledge?
If a student has an hour to answer ten questions about a complex topic, and they can somehow understand it well enough by asking AI about it, it either wasn’t worthy of teaching or that student is wasting their time in school; they clearly learn better on their own.
