Is Gen Alpha Learning, or Just Prompting?
第一段原文:
If in the next decade or two you notice that everyone around you is significantly less intelligent and even worse at critical thinking than they are today, you can blame AI.Because if you give an entire generation of kids the ability to magically do their homework at the push of a button, they’re going to smash it to bits.

According to the survey of teens aged 13 to 17, a deeply concerning 54 percent now admit to using AI for “homework help,” a nebulous term that ranges from legitimate tutoring to just blatantly using it to do their assignments for them.Only 45 percent of students claim to be staying away from AI entirely.The biggest group to keep our eyes on, and probably the ones that will be ruining our collective lives in the future, are the 10 percent of respondents who report using AI for “all or most” of their assignments.
