I think the final comment about 'appropriate guardrails' pretty important in the AI discussion. It suggests that if we tell our students that they can use AI to help with homework, then the are probably going to use it to look up answers (aka: cheating).
I've given my adult EAP learners some tips on using AI in a more 'honest' way, which is to use chatgpt for correcting their writing and getting feedback on their authentic work . The idea seems good, but I think that for most people it takes quite a lot of self control for a person not to use technology in a dishonest way.
I guess one thing a teacher could do is to explicitly teach study skills using AI platforms. I've shown my learners how to correct their vocabulary usage, but if someone told me to do the same thing with math problems, I would have no idea how to approach it. It's very likely not an intuitive thing for a highschool student to do. I'd love to see some tips on how to use AI as a study tool for things like solving math equations and other less intuitive uses.
