The first part of this article is actually written by an AI, which provides a nice twist to the usual presentation of a story about AI in education. Otherwise, though, it offers a completely standard argument: "AI won't replace humans' creative thinking... it uses others' work to regurgitate new sentences, and that doesn't always make for new or unique angles. That's what humans, as creative brains, are there to do – to find interesting angles never written, represented or thought of before!" This both understates what AI can do (it doesn't just regurgitate) and it overstates what humans can do (we don't create something out of nothing; they're always a starting point).
