I am quite surprised that in the school I am teaching in, student have a much more negative attitude towards genAI than professors, especially in the context of education.
30% of the professor feel that genAI can play a role in education, whereas only 11% of the student holds the same view.
That seems to reflect quite well in my homework, only a very small minority (10%) uses some extend of genAI in writing open-ended writing homeworks.
To be completely frank, that is a very disrespectful thing to say.
My students are intelligent and capable, and most importantly they are very respectful of other’s time and effort, both their teacher and their peer by choosing to understand the material instead of cheating.
They attended school to improve themselves by understanding and absorbing existing human knowledge, not because they are ignorant.

Students are ignorant, it’s why they are students.
AI is a tool like any other, you can build something with it, or you can cut your hand off.
Students are extremely motivated and versatile. We wouldn’t survive without them at work. They’re definitely not ignorant.
Ignoring some things doesn’t make you ignorant.
Now, your comment on the other hand…
