What is creative thinking that uses the the human brain when people can use AI. Let AI do the work while people vegetate. When they can’t drink the water or bath, or eat the fish for it is, or eat the crops because,then what; wait this will require creative thinking answers.

AI requires fresh water daily. Where does that waste water go. All life forms that require water. AI should be restricted only to be used in the Medical Field to help in detecting diseases and cures. Also for the Technical/Mechanical industrial complex to create a more efficient, safer workplace.

A major difference is that Lepore knew how to research, write and communicate on a elite level -before- using AI tools. Students aren't being encouraged to do that.

Exactly — Lepore uses AI as leverage on top of real expertise. The honest rule: AI multiplies existing skill; it doesn't create it. A student with no research skills gets machine-written work; an expert gets a faster research assistant.

AI for me, but not for thee?

This on top of the open letter defending a Harvard professor who sexually harassed students makes me think she may just be an awful person.
