Tough problem. I usually have some inkling of a solution to problems in subjects I know little about, even if they're likely wrong, but I have no idea how to handle ai use in education. AI is definitely here, and in all likelihood is gonna stay and improve. Maybe treating ai as you would drugs like heroin, and giving instruction from an early age would encourage kids to avoid ai in a learning environment. Honestly, I think that probably wouldn't work, cause everyone's lazy, especially kids, but it's the only answer I can come up with.
Walled gardens, phone faraday cages with liability waivers, frequent public touring/transparency.
Essentially the best learning environments, at least for narrow focus on specific skills and degrees, will resemble prisons, boot camps, or monestaries.
This all requires a lot of money and security of course, so coursework would have to be condensed for a narrow focus and shorter time span.
It's not remotely relevant to K-12 education mind you, and college is already unappealing as it is in the teens or early twenties when it's otherwise the best time to be attending.
None of these sound like remotely pleasant environments to teach in because the cognitive surrender will get more severe without those measures.
I had the misfortune of attending a degree for Game & Simulation Programming but would have benefitted far more from a year or two of boot camp and lab work over long distance learning and online portals. Naturally I'm just now tidying up the financial fallout of that decision many years later.
Nowadays with software engineering earnings deteriorating for entry level positions I'm fortunate I stayed in my IT field making the same money I would have, but I can imagine how severe the temptation would have been to rob myself with an LLM back in my halcyon days when schools were teaching FPSes or whatever. (though the relevant corpus of code is larger by a couple decades)
