Using AI in school can cause problems, but some people have different opinions on how it should be used.
“I think that it’s hard to say if it can be good or bad when it comes to school because it can be helpful in some ways but also be bad in a way,” Zion Samuel (12) said.
AI can answer any question and create anything it is asked to. It can be used as a tool or in whatever form someone wants to use it.
“A common way that I see it being used is either cheating or using it to help with assignments. Like when I have something due but I don’t understand I like to plug in the sources I have or the instructions and ask it to give me an easier way for me to understand what I am doing,” Paulina Bocanegra (11) said.
Access to websites that are dedicated to AI can be easily available to any students, but they are not as easy to access in school.
“It’s good that it’s not easy to just go on ChatGPT because although it can be useful, I think that it affects the way we learn in school so maybe that’s a reason as to why a lot of us don’t do good on assignments because we are just using these apps like PhotoMath or like the AI on our snapchat,” Isabella Anderson (12) said.
Others have different takes on how it should be used. Could it be used in a good way or is it just a tool that can raise concerns in school and for a student?
‘’I generally don’t think it’s necessarily bad, but aspects of it can be useful in some ways. But it also can be bad because it literally stops us from learning because either we’re too lazy or don’t understand what we’re doing. But when I think of it in a positive way it can be used to help in a project or when you need an example for something you are doing,” Gardenia Varela (12) said.
There are many different opinions on AI, and it’s a very divisive topic.
