I have students completing their Extended Essays for the IB. Told them we all know they are using AI so you have to acknowledge it. They still refused to cite. I then said that in their reflection they have to comment on "skills developed and lessons learned". Here comes the AI admittance! "I used AI to help me compare my sources" "I used AI to tell me if the source I have contains arguments I need" "I used AI for sources but found a lot of them were dead links" I used AI to help my Chinese documents align with my English ones". Whether I like them using it or not, they might as well learn something. Also, these are all considered as acceptable use within th IB Academic Integrity use.

@jellycrystals Maybe it's a bit like when calculators started becoming affordable —

1. You learn how to do the same maths with a calculator, which isn't nothing — and trains for real life

2. You learn how to do more / better maths with a calculator, that was out of reach without electronics

3. You learn there are some things you still can't do with a calculator

Maths exams focus on number 3, and I suppose other exams will need to write questions like that now.

And examine working with AI
