Teacher uses AI, creates lesson plan -> AI creates assignments -> Teacher gives assignments to students -> Students use AI to do assignment -> Teacher grades with AI -> Principal uses AI to monitor teachers progress.

This is happening at schools nationwide. It is unstoppable at this point. It's a bizarre charade.

You forgot the parasite companies that sit between the teachers/student/principal which pretend they detect the big bad AI assisted/generated work to punish individuals using AI (with a majority of false positives and always late by 1 generation of models). The charade wouldn't be complete without rent seeking intermediaries.

Up to this point, it's actually completely fine. LLMs do an excellent job up to here.

> | Teacher grades with AI -> Principal uses AI to monitor teachers progress.

Again, this is probably mostly fine. Assuming they are taking it seriously, this is also fine.

> Students use AI to do assignment

This is singularly the section of the loop that AI has no place in. The ENTIRE point of the education system is for the students to learn how to use their brains to accomplish tasks.

It speaks to the nonsensical structure of the education system, that it functions just fine having optimized out the education.

Nobody seems to care enough to do anything about it.

This isn't about teachers using Ai to make their life easier, otherwise it wouldn't only apply to elementary school, and from what I read it applies to students.

Students likely aren't allowed to use AI anyway for assignments. Or are they? That's the question, what is actually being banned if anything

The same thing is happening in business settings. There's more words being sent around than ever before, with an ever lowering percentage that is read by humans. There has to be a way to stop the madness.

AI starts charging money -> Everybody stops using it.
