soleio suggests NYC government should observe a one-year ban of AI in solidarity with students it's harming. The quoted reply pushes back, arguing this technology is the real-life "Young Lady's Illustrated Primer" from The Diamond Age — humanity's long-dreamed-of educational tool, and banning it is foolish.
A clash over AI in classrooms: one side worries it erodes student skills, the other sees it as the ultimate fulfillment of educational technology.
