β’ AI is a tool that can either hinder or enhance knowledge acquisition, depending on the user's diligence and intelligence.
β’ Other technologies, such as encyclopedias and calculators, can also be used to cheat or enhance knowledge intake.
β’ AI is not inherently different from these technologies in its impact on knowledge acquisition.
