While AI is a very powerful tool, there are certainly some blatant limitations. The first one that comes to mind for me, as someone who completed an undergraduate degree in the faculty of science, finishing after the creation of ChatGPT, its accuracy. When ChatGPT first launched, I thought it was quite useless for my schoolwork as it could not understand the complex scientific questions I was asking. Now, as AI evolves, it has gotten much better at answering scientific questions but there is still room for improvement, especially for use in post-secondary. Something else we have discussed often throughout this program is concerns about the use of AI in schools. As concluded by Flores et al (2025), in Artificial Intelligence and Students : An Overview from Teaching-Learning, Ethics-Morality, Emotions, Training, Cognition-Creativity, Social Construct, Recreation-Entertainment https://reference-global.com/2/v2/download/pdf/10.2478/jped-2025-0003 , there is a “…need for educational policies and school practices…” to support effective use of AI. These researchers agree on the importance of schools prioritizing cognitive thinking and creativity in AI-free environments, to ensure students don’t lose these ability.
As a student, I have found many benefits to using AI. I have learned how to use these chatbots as a tool to supplement my learning, particularly when studying. For example, prior to a midterm last semester, I created a handwritten set of notes and input them into ChatGPT and asked it to create a university-level exam, including the format of the midterm I was preparing for. It was able to output quality multiple choice questions that served as great practice for me before the midterm. While I don’t accredit my entire success on this test to ChatGPT, it was certainly a valuable tool to support my studying, and I achieved an A+ on the exam. I’ve inserted a photo of a few of the practice questions ChatGPT provided me, from this chat https://chatgpt.com/c/68f9a4e0-6dfc-8326-ad89-03e261409911.
