And because reading and writing are thinking we must not delegate it to AI models as a matter of habit. In particular, during students' formative time, they need
to learn how to think in reading and writing mode - reflecting, note-taking etc.
Compare it with the use of a pocket calculator: once you
have a solid grounding, it's fine to use electronic calculators, but first one ought to learn how to calculate
mentally and using pen and paper. If for no other reason, to check whether we made a typo when entering our calculation, e.g. when the result is off by 100 because we did not press the decimal point firmly enough.
I am very concerned that young people delegate to LLMs before reaching that stage.
