Once upon a time, using a calculator in school was cheating.
Then it wasn’t.
The smart kids didn’t just press buttons. They used calculators to think faster. Solve harder problems. Push further.
Now AI is the calculator. But this time, everyone gets it on day one.
Ohio State isn’t asking for permission. They’re requiring it. Every student, every class, every major. AI isn’t optional. It’s oxygen.
And just like the old days, some will press buttons. Others will think better.
A few will even think for the first time.
Because the tool doesn’t make the thinker.
It reveals who’s thinking.
