How are other countries handling it? I can't imagine AI being an American only education issue.

I work in higher education making online courses. It’s really stressing everyone out.

If we decide to ban smartphones from schools we should ban them from work too. I'm supposed to be writing an article right now and instead I'm here. Then we should ban them from streets so that people have to pay attention to where they are going and the things going on around them. At that point we'd have something like functioning human beings again instead of mindless zombies. We could still have terminals for plugging into the Machine but our time with it should be regulated (like it already is with research clusters) so that we don't waste energy. There, the whole problem is solved and all it takes is a global butlerian jihad.

The fact people can't even use their own common sense on Twitter without using AI for context shows we are in a scary place. AI is not some all knowing magic 8 ball and puts out a ton of misinformation.

Student: AI, write my thesis for me!

Prof: AI, was this thesis generated by AI?

AI: yes, of course, you poor human!

Prof: ...shrug...

I thought my class to write a standard 5-paragraph essay and made all tests essay questions, written in class by pencil- had to have an opening statement, complete sentences, well organized, and a conclusion…was told I was asking too much for a final day of school and everyone I failed got a C minus.

We’ve been needing to rework education for years now anyway. At least this will force the teachers to change & adapt, whether they like it or not.
