the people saying AI makes you stupider are already missing the point

Keep seeing this take and it drives me a little crazy so here we go yes if you just copy paste AI answers into your homework without reading them, you will learn nothing. this is true. nobody is arguing against this but thats like saying "calculators make you bad at math" and the solution being that we should all do long division forever i use AI as a conversation partner. i ask it to explain things three different ways until one of them clicks. i ask it to argue against my own ideas. i ask it "ok but why" like five times in a row like an annoying child.
