Definitely. I’m a huge fan of generative AI, and I’ve noticed two main groups among students: those who are enthusiastic and use AI extensively, and those who are more cautious or unfamiliar. In my classes, especially this semester, AI usage has surged.

However, the effectiveness depends on how it’s used. Some students try to get direct answers from AI, which doesn’t help them learn and often leads to mixed results. The most successful approach I’ve seen—and personally use—is treating AI as a brainstorming partner. When I hit a roadblock, I use AI to think about the problem differently. It doesn’t replace learning but enhances it by offering new perspectives.
