Rant: My kid's teacher said something about AI that stuck with me
She mentioned that the new school writing tool doesn't just check spelling, it can suggest how to build a better argument, which is kind of a big shift. It made me realize these tools aren't just for fixing errors anymore, they're starting to help shape the thinking process itself. Has anyone else seen AI move from simple correction to actually guiding how we put ideas together?

Remember when spell check just underlined a wrong word? My cousin's kid used a program that rewrote his whole book report intro to sound "more engaging." He got an A, but the voice wasn't his at all. It's like the tool stopped fixing the bike and started choosing the destination.

Shape the thinking process itself" is a wild thing to read. That's not just a tool anymore, that's a teacher. Feels like we're crossing a line we didn't even see coming.

Man, this reminds me of my neighbor's kid. He used one of those apps to help write college essays. Got into a good school, but his mom said the whole thing sounded like a corporate mission statement. Kid didn't even know what half the words meant. It's like we're outsourcing how to form an idea now.
