A physics teacher might think “It’s great that AI will polish my students’ writing for their lab reports“ whereas someone else might argue “your students need to learn to write in your class too.” But of course this problem is not new.
Really interesting problem here in the group ownership of curriculum and goals vs individual academic freedom in teaching...
The alternative is that AI is replacing a task that merely supports the actual mental work you want the student to do; the replaced task was soaking up the students time and energy and providing no benefit.
It's one thing if a task "merely" supports a larger goal and automation might still provide that support. The second clause suggests that there are tasks which could and should be eliminated entirely. (Thereby obviating the need to use AI on them...)
