Wouldn't it make more sense to find ways on how to utilize the tool of AI and set up criteria that would incorporate the use of it?

There could still be classes / lectures that cover the more classical methods, but I remember being told "you won't have a calculator in your pocket".

My point use, they should prepping students for the skills to succeed with the tools they will have available and then give them the education to cover the gaps that AI can't solve. For example, you basically need to review what the AI outputs for accuracy. So maybe a focus on reviewing output and better prompting techniques? Training on how to spot inaccuracies? Spotting possible bias in the system which is skewed by training data?

It's like the calculator in the 80s and 90s. Teacher would constantly tell us "no jobs just gonna let you use a calulator,, they're paying you to work"..

I graduated, and really thought companies were gonna make me do stuff by hand, cause calulators made it easy. Lol.

Why would any job requrie employees to do math by hand, without a calculator?
