一、文章原文

PASSAGE

P1AI is now part of our everyday life. It makes our smart devices work. Some chatbots have become especially popular. Just ask a chatbot a question, and it will create an answer. However, some teachers and parents worry that chatbots might stop students from learning independently.

P2Should students use AI for homework? Here are two students' different answers.

P3AI could change the way students learn. Many people worry that chatbots might be used for cheating, but safety measures keep improving. So there is no need to worry about that. And chatbots can guide students through questions instead of giving them answers directly. They can also help teachers create lesson plans. AI tutors can provide much support for students too. AI is here to stay. Move with the times, or the times will move without you!
—Dylan Patel, 13, San Diego, California

P4Schoolwork should help kids develop skills and train their brains. Technology can be useful, but kids need to learn to do basic tasks on their own. That is why we teach maths even with calculators, and why schools still practise writing and spelling despite most adults using computers. Kids' brains need exercise to grow, just like their bodies. AI may be good for adults, but it might be bad for children if they use AI before they master the building blocks of learning.
—Harper Carroll, 10, Boston, Massachusetts
