You just ignored what OP said, they highlighted all the good uses llms can help students with such as test quizzes, note organizing, transcribing, etc, you ignored their comment and made an unrelated response to the content of the comment equating llm use to cheating on exams.
I didn’t ignore what they said at all. Organizing your own notes and creating summaries of topics (most grade school essays are just this) is an important part of learning and fully understanding something. Having an LLM do it defeats the purpose, same as taking an answer sheet into a test.
Exactly. Imagine you’re taking a class. Imagine your note taking process is:
Record an audio copy of the lecture.
Feed the audio into an LLM to transcribe it.
Have the LLM condense the transcription into notes.
What good have you actually accomplished? The point of studying is not to produce a derivative work of a professor’s lecture. The point is to actually learn something. And this is best done by working through the material, on your own, using your own mind and faculties. It is the act of actually doing the transformation that builds the rich conceptual networks that result in effective learning.
An index card full of test answers is also a tool, but you’ll find most examination centers don’t allow them.

It’s almost like math teachers requiring work to be shown has a logical reason behind it!
Wait, what? Using your brain is the entire point of most tests and quizzes.
Outsourcing them to LLMs sounds like brainrot manifesting.
