I found it perplexing that some educational institutions banned chatbots as they think that the students would source their assignments from these machines and they would make themselves dumb.
I do not think that our ancestors banned automobiles fearing those would affect the walking ability of people or weaken their limbs. In fact, the automobiles actually did nothing of the sort. It only enhanced mobility. No matter how sturdy human legs may be, they can not take payloads to space, or to the moon, or to another planet.
AI would only aid human beings and, more so, ordinary folks. Any technology makes an individual more resourceful and eases their life. Every technology is a social leveller. It does the job faster in free-market societies.
The institutions should rather be recalibrating their pedagogy to assimilate these technologies into it and train the pupil's minds for superior engagements. Earlier we had only limb-like tools and now we have mind-like tools. If I can call them limb tools and mind tools respectively, I would say the mind tools would aid our mind works and even do that independently freeing our minds for better things. Certainly, many would not be able to handle that freedom but automobiles have not offered us only good things either.
