> But that struggling was ultimately necessary to really learn the concepts.

This is what isn't explained or understood properly (...I think) to students; on the surface you go to college/uni to learn a subject, but in reality, you "learn to learn". The output that you're asked to submit is just to prove that you can and have learned.

But you don't learn to learn by using AI tools. You may learn how to craft stuff that passes muster, gets you a decent grade and eventually a piece of paper, but you haven't learned to learn.

Of course, that isn't anything new, loads of people try and game the system, or just "do the work, get the paper". A box ticking exercise instead of something they actually want to learn.
