> I recently sat in on a lecture at my old uni and noticed almost every student heavily using ai.

But are they also paying for it? Or simply using the free version because it's available?

People dislike and are dependent on things all the time. What'll be interesting to see is how that classroom of students will feel towards AI when it leaves school. I am uncomfortable with AIs being used in schools this way, myself, like almost without exception. I mean, geez, how do you compete? Do you just sort of have to, once a certain number of your classmates uses it for stuff like essays? Do they curve essays anymore?
