The days of cramming a SparkNotes summary of A Midsummer Night’s Dream 10 minutes before an in-class essay appear to be over. Instead, high schoolers are turning to chatbots for help.

According to a recent Pew Research Center survey:

  • More than half of US teens (54%) use AI chatbots to get help with schoolwork.
  • Even more students (59%) think that using AI to cheat happens regularly at their school.
  • They find it useful: More than a quarter of teens said chatbots are “extremely” helpful with schoolwork, while just 3% said AI is of no help at all.

When reached for comment, your former history teacher just kind of stared into the distance without saying anything, before walking away.
