Interesting article, but I think it downplays the incidence of students using Claude as an alternative to building foundational skills. I could easily see conversations that they outline as "Collaborative" primarily being a user walking Claude through multi-part problems or asking it to produce justifications for answers that students add to assignments.

Direct quote I heard from an undergrad taking statistics:

"Snapchat AI couldn't get it right so I skipped the assignment"
