Really cool (and somewhat freighting) work on Gen AI use and highschool performance in China. Homework Scores rocket up, time spend doing homework collapses, then predictably exam scores are way down. Results show bimodal response ~75% see scores drop, the other 20-25% keep doing the work.
Using 30 months of panel data on 26,811 Chinese students in grades 7-12, we study how generative AI affects homework productivity and learning. The data combine
If ppl think anything this would deter high schooler well… so there you REALLY need some rethinking of education that elicits learning for its own sake, and do very clever things with making homework a learning tool not part of evaluations (or get rid of homework? Idk…)

given Gen AI isnt going away ( but it might be regulated!!), and left to their own devices and in this environment a great majority slump, we really really need to consider how to re-imagine learning in this context, or figure out regulations…
Does anyone have access to this discussion paper? Seems to show a plausible patterning of learning loss when students access AI cepr.org/publications...
Had the most intense lighting storm in years, kids absolutely loved it…

The Swedes are just giving this to us (in the sense that they should have pulled back 1 or 2 in the first half, and didn’t start either half very sharp/intense)
The true Berlin Benchmark…
