A fascinating thread. And it’s true of the humanities as well - the growing reliance of students on AI, the way AIs tend to confirm existing knowledge and assumptions rather than empowering students to seriously challenge them, and the simple fact that if you think even complex and nuanced answers are right there at your fingertips, you never exercise the muscles in your brain that re-organize information in innovative and groundbreaking ways. You become the sort of analyst that can be replaced by the very AI that has become your crutch.

I'm teaching databases this semester at Berkeley. My students all seem unusually brilliant. Not many go to office hours, and not too many folks post on the course forum asking project questions. Weirdly, the exam had the lowest recorded average in my 10 semesters teaching it.
