OSAKA - The surge of AI tools is changing how homework gets done.
As summer vacation enters its final stretch, many students are still racing to finish their assignments. A second-year junior high school student admitted, "I haven't finished." A second-year high school student said, "Not at all," adding that completing everything now would be "a bit tough."
In a reporter demonstration, entering "Please write a book report on Botchan" into ChatGPT produced a full response in seconds. A middle school principal said teachers sometimes suspect AI when writing "goes beyond what we would expect from the student," raising questions about how to evaluate such work fairly.
A further twist is so-called reverse AI: ghostwriting services report requests to rewrite AI-generated text so it reads as if "written by a person." At the same time, some schools are experimenting with autonomy by letting students decide the volume of their vacation homework themselves, aiming to cultivate initiative rather than simple compliance.
