I'm part of a local physics meetup where AI is often a topic of conversation. One member is a well-regarded high school physics teacher (his students end up at MIT, Georgia Tech, etc., and some go on to get physics PhDs). He shared that some teachers now require AI/LLMs for homework assignments, such as writing essays. The actual assignment is to critique the output of the LLM. As a millennial, even our middle school classes taught information literacy in various forms in the "computer lab". And that was the nascent days of the web. AI is a tool, not unlike a calculator or Wikipedia. They were both controversial and even forbidden at times. Students adapted. So did education.
