3) It's really not that hard to design assessments that are, if not AI-proof, difficult for students to do *well* using Chat-GPT. It doesn't have to be paper exams, LLMs are pretty useless for e.g. any version of a research task or close engagement with a specific source.

Should people learn how to skim read rather than using AI-generated summaries? Yes very much so. (Even setting aside the environmental costs, these tools will all break down and/or be quietly shut down or paywalled within the decade... again the tiniest shred of political economy would be good...)
