In an elementary school classroom, a student once said,
“Ahn Jung-geun paid condolences to Ito Hirobumi.” It turned out to be false.
The mistake came from a generative AI error, which mixed up the actions of Ahn Jung-geun and his son, Ahn Jun-saeng. The student accepted the AI’s answer as fact and presented it without questioning it.
Teachers say this is becoming increasingly common.
In a nationwide survey, more than 80% of teachers said excessive AI use weakens students’ literacy, mainly because children skip the process of thinking and move straight to answers.
Many educators note that students now tend to trust AI responses more than teachers’ explanations, and prefer short summaries over reading longer texts.
Experts emphasize that the issue isn’t AI itself.
What matters is building reading habits and critical thinking first, so students can question, verify, and truly understand information.
In the age of AI, the most important skill may not be finding answers quickly,
but learning how to pause—and think—before believing them.
