Readers’ Corner: Hard Work or Perfect AI?
I asked the following question to several English teachers I know. “You assigned English writing homework to your students. Student A submitted a piece of writing generated by AI. The English was perfect. Student B submitted a piece of writing that they created on their own using the English they learned at school. It contained a few mistakes. Which student would you evaluate more highly, A or B? Why? The teachers all said, “We would give student B a higher grade because hard work pays off. Making mistakes is an important part of learning, and the student will get better. AI-generated papers are not acceptable because we don’t know if the student understands what is written. We give homework to make sure that they understand what they are studying.” In any case, English teachers will probably have a harder time with English education from now on.
