The instinct of students is often to use AI to help with homework, even if they are not trying to cheat. And because off-the-shelf chatbots are a helpful assistant, rather than a tutor, they give you the answer and undermine learning.

More evidence, from a large-scale study in China, that using AI hurts learning if it undermines mental effort. When homework time drops due to AI use, so do test scores.

Across studies, a theme: AI tutoring in support of classes is good, using AI to "help" with homework is bad.

STACK OVERFLOW JUST ANNOUNCED THEIR OWN AI!!!

OverflowAI is a tool, that will also have a VS Code plugin. The way this works, if you are on the site and ask a question, it will produce the answer for you while also citing the sources it used to produce the answer.

You can then ask more in the conversational area, even including code, and through Generative AI it can continue building off of the answer.

This is the right move on their part and I am confident a lot of people will be trying it out. Everything releases in August! Great job @StackOverflow. Really great announcement at the @WeAreDevs Conference!
