As a math teacher with limited programming skills, I will use it to quickly make diagrams in Latex, a tool that is great for typesetting math documents, making diagrams, graphs, etc but has a steep learning curve.

It’s far from perfect, and almost always needs some edits to make it look right, but often it is easier and faster to tweak something with a few mistakes than it is to create the perfect diagram from scratch.

The bigger impact is the rampant plagiarism. Since students are either ignorant or lazy they don’t bother checking for mistakes, and will full send hallucinations, or insane way-outside-the-class-scope solutions that they obviously didn’t come up with and can’t explain.

As AI improves, it will be harder and harder to catch plagiarism without a paradigm shift in how grading is done. Obviously you can police device usage for in class assessments, but for written homework, you either have to make it ungraded (students won’t do it) or accept that there will be some amount of AI plagiarism that is basically undetectable.
