I could live without a cellphone. But since AI got popular, it isn’t as easy to keep up at some subjects as it was before (since everybody at our highschool cheated with AI - at least I did most of the non-annoying stuff myself), which means I had to do more work.
Factually, using AI in your education means you get less value out of that education. In every math class ever, you’ve probably heard some version of,
“I don’t care that you got the right answer. I already know that 2x^2 - 5x -3 factors into (2x + 1)(x - 3) and I already know that this information is freely available. What I care about is making sure that you can figure that out without anyone helping you.”
If you use AI to do a problem, you’re training your ability to do something that everyone else on the planet can do. If you force yourself to do it, you’re training your ability to actually think.
You actually WON’T have to do more work in the long run. Think of it as an investment. If you spend the time learning it now, properly, so that you actually understand it, then every test that your study for, for the rest of your life, will be easier, and you’ll get higher grades. Measurably.

Keep it up.
That work is way more valuable than an empty grade. You are going to have very useful advantages over the ones using chatbots to cheat.
