The kid motivation is not the knowledge but the grade, in all subjects but the few that interest them.

Until that will chance the any and all shortcuts will be used, because the goal of the kid is to:

* get grades high enough to keep parents happy * do fun stuff

The motivation to get knowledge for something other than your own hobbies/curiosity only comes when you need to start paying the bills and get a job

Agreed. Anyone advocating for heavy AI use in primary and secondary school education obviously doesn't remember their own motivations at that age.

I never cheated, but it's far too high a bar to expect adolescents to be able to restrain themselves from a magic answer machine.

And the more they use it, the further they're going to fall behind in the basics (being able to do math, read, and write).
