> Education is likely declining as adoption allows students to avoid critical thought or applying concepts.

I highly doubt this will be the case. This common viewpoint is almost certainly no more than another iteration of Plato decrying the invention of books.

    2: an extremely outstanding or unusual event, thing, or accomplishment. "The bridge is a miracle of engineering."

Books and calculators still required knowledge of concepts and application. That's vastly different from students today asking AI to write a book report for them and retaining no knowledge from it.

I don't consider AI to be outstanding. Maybe that bridge they're talking about was. Seems that this comes down to opinion.
