If a student walked in and told you "summarize your work for me because I'm unwilling to read and understand it in full," would you accept that? What about if they then asked you questions you'd already answered in the paper? You've built a system that teaches people not to read or research.

Why is it vendors and publishers keep charging more or separating resources out to charge more but then libraries are folding or cutting staff? Plus AI is going to cause problems when people don’t know how to assess information.
