What I like about this article is that it takes the reader step by step through the argument against the use of AI in education, with clear examples and references to real work. It begins by pushing back against the inevitability of AI and by pointing to what has come to be called 'cognitive surrender'. Then a series of examples shows how it fails in education. Good stuff; I'm sure this will be popular. But let's reframe. What if we replaced 'cognitive surrender' with the word 'trust', and thought of using AI as no different than depending on a library of books or statements made by people who have written them? And what if, instead of thinking of AI as some sort of tutoring system, we thought of it as similar to writing, which exists everywhere in society, but which serves to guide though not replace human experience?
