I struggled in high school. I went off my ADHD meds in favour of a social life, a choice I don’t regret. But it made classwork and homework absolute torture. The torture mostly sucked but I did help me grow. I’m convinced I would have cheated if I had access to ChatGPT, and that’s pretty upsetting to think about when thinking about today’s students.b
I hope that how we educate changes, forces by AI, improving in ways that would have helped people like me. I worry that might mean lessened access for all, if it requires the cost to go up.
