It's not a double standard. It's the same standard applied to different things.

The best way we know of to learn something with AI is to do the work yourself, then watch AI blow you out of the water on the same task, learn its tricks and do the work again (better, even, since AI isn't that great at it yet)

Which means the teacher can use AI, and you can't.

This is also an entirely different subject to whether you should be learning that specific task in the first place or delegate it to AI.

Citation on this? There is something on HN front page right now that is contradicting.

		It's a potentially murdered paraphrase from a Harvard Business School professor that works in the field. I don't have a very high quality source but this does cover and expand on it: https://youtu.be/vFOnDsy58NU Or "Karim lakhani how to learn with AI" and see Gemini's skim of the video. The other thread is highly sensationalised and not really related. (Edit: sorry I thought it was a different thread, the one that's sublinked by OP in your thread. So disregard this paragraph. I can't contest either position, I'm a mere spectator. That being said, I don't see the contradiction, perhaps you could elaborate on that)
