OPINION: Shoutout to AI for making school reasonable again

Similar to many 5C students, my courses last semester drove me to write 14 papers, and so did my classes the semester before that. Meanwhile, I worked two to four on-campus jobs, one of which was my former position as Opinions editor for TSL. To sum it up, a paper was always on my mind. While writing these essays, I studied about 12 hours a day most days just to keep up with coursework, and drank at least six coffees, usually more. In my first year of college, before I experienced that level of academic pressure, I wrote that artificial intelligence would be the downfall of the working classes, the end of the world as we know it, “the new, fun way to create yet another self-inflicted crisis.” Things have changed, at least as far as my opinion is concerned. Now I feel as though, as long as the planet manages not to overheat and spontaneously combust in the meantime, AI might lead to a writing revolution.
