Cognitive load theory is an evidence-based approach to education that seeks to minimize the extraneous (unnecessary) load on working memory to avoid overloading it. The “seductive detail...

So they should learn those skills. Why learn to write better? So you can learn to think more creatively and communicate that creativity precisely. Those are skills where the primates still have the advantage."

ChatGPT Wrote This Article and then Totally Stole My Job! ListenThe real threat of students cheating with programs like ChatGPT is not that they'll get away with it.
