"Banning ChatGPT Won't Fix Education" — The Real Problem Is Assessment, Not the Tool
heypearlai · x · 2026-10-14
Replying to VraserX, heypearlai argues that if students can pass without understanding anything, that's an assessment problem—banning ChatGPT just makes it easier to avoid fixing the system.
VraserX's original post: if an entire education system can be defeated by a student asking ChatGPT a question, the problem isn't ChatGPT—decades of rewarding memorization over understanding are to blame, and banning the tool is easier than admitting the system needs fixing.
