AI on senior year

Our high school experience has been different from any other high school experience in the history of the world. Even in the past 10 years, if a teacher gave you an essay to write on a book, you had to read the book and then spend hours writing and proofreading a long essay. This process has all been flushed down the drain with the introduction of artificial intelligence. What used to take hours or even days to write can now be written in ChatGPT in about 30 seconds. What used to take hours to proofread and the tedious process of changing words in every other sentence to make it better has all been erased by copy and paste. In fact, the use of AI has gotten so bad that almost every teacher either has us write our papers on paper or is forced to put it through an AI checking site to see if we used AI or not. This is the first time in history when you could do the best in the class on an assignment and not even spend 2 minutes on it. But there is a flip side to this. If you know how to use AI, it can be beneficial to your learning. Instead of just using it for answers like most, you could take a picture of your homework and have it show you how to do the problem instead of just copying it down onto your worksheet. Personally, I have grown with AI. Right when it came out, I used it only for answers, but as I have gone through my 4 years here, I have learned how to use it and actually learn the content in the questions by being walked through it by AI. But all in all, I think that AI has been a really good resource for us to use because everyone has learned to use it and no one really uses it for answers but more just to learn from it. I think that AI has really helped me out throughout my years at Moeller by teaching me things that I may have missed in the classroom, which has saved me more times than I can count. But the downsides of the use of AI are that we may not be fully prepared for college, as AI is doing a lot of the work for us, so we do not get the full high school learning experience, which can make it so we do not know everything that we should for college. So if you are using it just for answers, then I think that it can be harmful to your learning, but if you know how to use it and let it teach you how to actually do the process, then I think that it can be one of the best resources out there. But all in all, I think that AI can be a double-edged sword, as it can both help and hurt you, but the more you use it, the more you learn how to use it.
