Relentless advancement to produce new gen of

I asked Wendy if I could read the paper she turned in, and when I opened the document, I was surprised to see the topic: critical pedagogy, the philosophy of education pioneered by Paulo Freire. The philosophy examines the influence of social and political forces on learning and classroom dynamics. Her opening line: “To what extent is schooling hindering students’ cognitive ability to think critically?” Later, I asked Wendy if she recognized the irony in using AI to write not just a paper on critical pedagogy but one that argues learning is what “makes us truly human.” She wasn’t sure what to make of the question. “I use AI a lot. Like, every day,” she said. “And I do believe it could take away that critical-thinking part. But it’s just — now that we rely on it, we can’t really imagine living without it.”
It is literally everyone. I do not know a student that does not use AI. It is so hard to find the motivation to struggle through my work when I know my peers have it so much easier.
i know i don't and i'm pretty sure a lot (most?) of the people i know don't either, but then again i don't think my degree has amazing job prospects (so it seems to be largely people interested it) and it also doesn't cost american sums of money, so maybe that doesn't say that much.
