The Volcano Assignment: A Warning
A school principal once shared a story.
Her 12-year-old son had to prepare a presentation about volcanoes.
In five minutes, ChatGPT gave him a detailed outline, accurate information, and even illustrations.
Work that would have taken him two hours… done instantly.
When she told him it wasn’t really “his” work, he looked at her and asked:
“Why make things complicated when you can make them simple?”
This innocent question reveals our dilemma.
Why search when Google knows?
Why think when AI can do it for us?
What if, in our fascination with this extraordinary tool, we are making a tragic mistake:
Teaching humans to mimic machines?
Because that is exactly what is happening.
All over the world, education systems are reorganizing themselves around this new reality
We try to make children think faster, memorize more, adapt better…
As if the goal of education were to become a failed artificial intelligence.
But in this game, we will always lose.
AI does not get tired.
It does not doubt.
It does not get bored.
It does not suffer.
It does not need meaning to move forward.
So what will be left for humans?
If we reduce education to efficiency, performance, and automation…
We are creating a generation ready to be replaced.
The greatest danger of AI is not that it will surpass us.
It is that we will give up what makes us human.
