Post-apocalyptic Education

Summary

This 2024 essay distinguishes confidence in AI detection from the illusion that completed homework means learning.

Mollick argues for teacher-led learning design and independent demonstrations of skill, rather than relying on confidence that AI use will be spotted.

As an older reference, it helps trace the discussion’s starting problems. Its model capabilities, survey findings and detection claims must retain their 2024 context.
