AI appears to be making even prestigious STEM students dumber

I do have a (((prestigious))) STEM degree and have a friend who became an assistant professor at our school.
"Back in my day," the labs and experiments you did were typically the easiest part of STEM classes because the exercises covered straightforward but time-consuming examples, so the class usually did best on these. Homework, quizzes, and tests were the hard part, especially toward the end of the course.
But today's STEM students use AI to do all their homework and anything else that they submit online, and as a result they don't learn the material as well. According to my friend, this means that grades are dropping in labs and experiments, which are supposed to be the easiest part Ljl.

Their loss.
Understanding the material is more important than grades, and will be what determines their success in life.

I'm getting a statistics MS right now. You could totally use AI to do your homework for you, except that it's wrong half the time. You still have to comprehend the material well enough to question AI about its results.
And it goes without saying that whatever you let the AI do on the homework, you will still have to reverse engineer it to do well on the tests.
I do think AI is making it possible for motivated students who aren't quite as brilliant as the typical STEM grad student to learn these topics. I'm not sure I could have comprehended statistics as well as I do now without ChatGPT as a free tutor.
