How can we incentivize students to choose tutoring AI tools in an environment with general-purpose AI tools that give direct answers? Our findings suggest several possible interventions. First, providing credible information about the long-run learning costs of homework outsourcing may alter student behavior. Second, increasing the weight placed on closed-book, in-person assessments may help restore the connection between effort and reward. Third, parents and teachers may be more effective if they monitor inputs, such as homework time and study effort, rather than outputs such as homework scores.

@sundogplanets
Highly pertinent that the fall in test scores that follow the introduction of Ai use in classrooms is delayed long enough for satanic autocorrect to gain a foothold in "education."
Is "education" now a commodity to be enshittified like everything else?
Those who don't understand the real value of an educated mind will most likely answer, "Yes," as there are beaucoup bucks to be made thereby.

@sundogplanets This tracks with my own observations of “homework scores in the 90s, in-person exam scores in the 50s.”

and higher level students suffer more, with students in subject areas that REALLY should not get "homework outsourcing" suffering the greatest loss

None of this is unexpected; question is what we, as a society, will do about it.

@sundogplanets Fully education our youth to only perform when using generative AI. Which is exactly what the big AI-providers want: full dependence on the tools provided.

In other words: there's no problem as long as they use AI.
