Students at Architecture schools are using AI for everything – what's the fix?

My god, I feel so validated by this post.

I'm currently a postgrad student at Bartlett. We are doing group projects this semester.

My god the level of AI reliance is insane with many of the students, not even some.

I recently finished a group project with a student who is about to graduate.

He does not lift a finger. All he does is prompt AI to write, generate and create visuals. Even his messages in our group chat is long walls of AI text 😭😭 HE THINKS WE ARE LLMs WHO WILL READ THIS.

He does not know how to extrude a face in Blender. Tried to tear down my illustrations for his AI generated slop but I stood my ground and my work made it to the group presentation.

How could it be that these prestigious arch school are giving diplomas to people who are skill-less? By all means use AI for creative decisions after you graduate, why are you in school if you don't want to learn?

Heavily AI-reliant students should not be equated with students who do the work, research and use their artistic voice to visualize their projects. One is giving the machine the creative decisions while the latter is making the decisions themselves.

I'm so heavily disappointed in the Bartlett.
