As a student, I also believe strongly that the irresponsible use that IA hinders learning and academical development, although it is a tempting feature in activities we consider hard e complicated. But, if we have an objective of improving our skills and develop our critical thinking abilities, it is a shortcut that diverts us from our true path. Nevertheless, i believe that this type of Technologies could help our learning process, provided used in a correct and honest way, anyway, this technological evolution must serve us to knowledge evolution. We just must be extremely careful not to fall into traps and temptations that they could provide us.

Thanks. It is pleasant to see your positive comment.

I do believe that AI may be a double-edged sword when it comes to the use of language technology. In my university assignments, I use tech tools like grammar checkers and reference managers to ensure accuracy and efficiency. On the other hand, I will cross the line when these tools begin to replace active learning activities, which are essential for the development of skills. Examples of such procedures include critical thinking and in-depth reading. If I were a teacher, I would urge my pupils to utilise technology not as a shortcut but rather as an addition to their education. It is beneficial to make use of digital dictionaries in order to clarify terminology, yet depending on translation tools is detrimental to the process of language learning. The key is balance—leveraging technology for support while maintaining a focus on the hard work that leads to genuine fluency.

Hi Ingrid, I don’t use writing tools, but I do search for more formal synonyms time and again.
Thanks

Using tech for feedback is a great strategy. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for putting your finger on a key problem: many international students still need language support but the teaching they get pretends that they only need to learn content; this leaves students to struggle on their own, and facile tech solutions are tempting …

What is Poe?

Thanks, MJ! Can you go back and tell us in detail what kinds of tools you used how to write this comment?

Well said – the golden middle 🙂

Thanks, Jif! I don’t think we have to accept what we can’t prevent. We will never entirely prevent crime, for instance, but that doesn’t mean we should live in a lawless society and give up on prevention, policing, and punishment …

Hi Palak, what exactly is the percentage of your own work in this text and how much was AI-generated? Can you provide a detailed breakdown, please, including the tool(s) you used?

Thanks, Upu! Do you know what the business model of Grammarly and QuillBot is? Do you pay subscription fees? Or do they harvest your data and feed you tailored advertising?

Thanks, Saga! You raise several important points, and I just want to respond to the one about copyright. The makers of ChatGPT and the like have scraped the internet for data and essentially stolen the intellectual property of countless writers, artists, and other creatives. By using generative AI, we are complicit in that grand theft.

Hi ST, I’m not so interested in catching out students but supporting their learning. If we let them use whatever tech for their studies and then go back to pen-and-paper in exams, that just seems punitive to me.
