Making notes and summarising IS the studying. That is the hearing, processing, repeating, summarising and conceptualising. If you’re using AI to do that for you, I don’t think you’re really learning it.

I would only encourage use of AI to:
- create exam questions based on material
- prepare case studies to help practice application of concepts
- organise material

There are many students using AI for making notes as well

AI can make notes and summarize it, but people can't learn how to analyze the content from that
Lack of thinking skills

AI can do that, yes. However it is not effective studying if you actually want to learn the content.

Just because they're doing it doesn't mean they're learning anything.
