Title: America's Teenagers Say AI Cheating Has Become a Regular Feature of
Student Life

Tuesday Pew Research announced their newest findings: that 54% of America's
teens use AI help with schoolwork: One-in-five teens living in households
making less than $30,000 a year say they do all or most of their schoolwork
with AI chatbots' help. A similar share of those in households making $30,000
to just under $75,000 annually say this. Fewer teens living in higher-earning
households (7%) say the same." "The survey did not ask students whether they
had used chatbots to write essays or generate other assignments..." notes the
New York Times. "But nearly 60% of teenagers told Pew that students at their
school used chatbots to cheat 'very often' or 'somewhat often.'" Agreeing
with that are the Pew Researchers themselves. "Our survey shows that many
teens think cheating with AI has become a regular feature of student life."
One worried teenager still told the researchers that AI "makes people lazy
and takes away jobs." But another teenager told the researchers that
"Everyone's going to have to know how to use AI or they'll be left behind."
