I’ve been working with so many students who turn to it as a first resort for everything. The second a problem stumps them, it’s AI. The first source for research is AI.
It’s not even about the tech, there’s just something about not wanting to learn that deeply upsets me. It’s not really something I can understand. There is no reason to avoid getting better at writing.
I teach machining, so that’s: CNC programming, measuring, tolerances, technical drawing, math, 3D printing, memory techniques (because I think it’s useful), proper AI use (because I have to), and a lot more.
Maybe it’s a cultural thing, maybe it’s age difference (students are paid to study and aged between 16-60), maybe it’s because they get to test and use the theory in the workshop, but most students seem to like learning. There is always 1 or 2 kids in class (almost always teenage boys) being lazy in the wrong way.
