Do you think using AI is cheating?

One Question:

Do you think using AI is cheating, or is it just working smarter?

One Idea:

Using AI is not cheating. It is a tool, just like a calculator, a spellchecker, or a well-written guide.

When used well, AI does not replace thinking. It enhances it.

It helps:
❆ Streamline tasks without compromising quality
❆ Generate ideas without staring at a blank page
❆ Personalise learning without hours of extra work

Just like any other professional tool, AI is only as good as the person using it. The skill lies in knowing when, how, and why to use it effectively.

One Quote:

“Give ordinary people the right tools, and they will design and build the most extraordinary things.” – Neil Gershenfeld

One Example:

The introduction of calculators to the workplace and education during the 1970s, generated the same “Chicken Little” responses that AI is getting currently.

There was concern that reliance on calculators in the workplace would weaken mental arithmetic skills, reduce problem-solving abilities, and lead to over-dependence on technology, particularly in fields like finance, engineering, and trades.

Educators, parents and policy makers concerns about basic maths skills, over-reliance, cheating, and the devaluation of traditional teaching methods led to resistance, though calculators were eventually recognised as effective learning tools when used appropriately.
