The intellectual bankruptcy of anti-AI academic
alarmism: A rebuttal
Posted on 28 Oct 2025 by Neil Harrison
A few years ago, a philosophy colleague and I taught
a college English composition course at Lindenwood
University organized around a single, surprising (for
students) word: bullshit. We leaned into the theme,
using Harry Frankfurt’s classic essay as our guide
and asking students to explore what it means to be
sincere, what it means to be a fraud, and how to tell
the difference. We also decided to lean into the AI
moment. This was Fall of 2023, the beginning of the
first full academic year since ChatGPT was introduced.
We didn’t ban the new generative AI tools; we invited
them into the classroom. We experimented with
writing papers with AI assistance, making the central
work of the course not just writing, but thinking
critically about how we write. Our guiding principle was trust. We trusted that
by including students in the conversation, by
empowering them to use and critique these strange
new tools, they would become more engaged and
curious, not less. We wanted to replace the impulse to
police our students with an invitation to collaborate
with them.
AI and critical skills
That classroom experience felt vital and exciting. But
it now feels like it exists in opposition to a dominant
and growing mood in academia. I see a rising tide
of anxiety about AI, a kind of moral panic that my
co-author James Hutson and I have started calling
“academic alarmism.” This rhetoric often cloaks
itself in philosophical rigor, insisting that because
AI lacks human “moral agency,” it is unfit to serve
educational roles. We hear that terms like “tutor” or
“collaborator” must be restricted to humans, a kind
of linguistic gatekeeping that ignores centuries of
learning with non-human tools. (…)
Guide, not gatekeeper
(…)
We argue that the university’s role isn’t to be a
gatekeeper but a guide.
The alarmists warn of disengaged students and the
death of critical thinking. But when I hear those
warnings, I think of a specific student from that
“bullshit” class. She dove into the experiment,
using AI tools with an intellectual curiosity that was
inspiring. (…)
The university has always been a place of mediated
knowledge, from the un-agential textbook to the
impersonal learning management system. To insist
now that only unmediated, Socratic dialogue with
humans is “authentic” education is to weaponize a
fiction against pragmatic innovation, especially in an
era of mass education where that ideal is rarely the
reality for many students.
The real pedagogical crisis is not the advent of
generative AI but the structural underfunding and
the challenges of widespread university access that
have defined higher education for generations.
AI, thoughtfully integrated, has the potential to
redistribute scarce human attention and restore
some measure of the engagement we all yearn for.
The challenge of higher education in the age of
AI is not to shield students from complexity but to
equip them with the habits of mind, skepticism, and metacognitive awareness required to flourish amid it.
The pedagogical imperative is not less responsibility
but more.

Indicate whether each of the following statements
about Critical Literacy made by Caetano in "But When
Do I Do Critical Literacy?" is true (T) or false (F).
( ) Since teachers understand the implications of their true role in the classroom, they can use Critical Literacy theories to promote discussions that lead to autonomy, political consciousness and active participation of their learners.
( ) When considering a local context of learning and subjects involved in the teaching and learning of a foreign language, the social changes that have occurred in the last years shall not be considered, because they have not significantly affected the profile of regular school students.
( ) The relations of domination, the hegemonies of power, the reproduction of privileges and the oppression must find – in the classroom – space for awareness, struggle, questioning and social transformation, mainly because it is more than clear that historical and cultural diversity occupies a significant place in the geopolitical scene nowadays.
( ) According to the Brazilian Curricular Guidelines for High School (OCEM), teachers of English as a second language do not need to address Critical Literacy in the planning of classes, in the preparation of materials and in all their methodological choices, through the exploration of relevant themes such as citizenship, diversity, equality, social justice and values, among others.

Language Teaching Methodology:
A Text-based Approach
What is a text-based approach to language teaching?
A text-based approach entails:
1. Linking spoken and written texts to the cultural
context of their use.
2. Designing units of work that focus on developing
skills in relation to whole texts.
3. Providing students with guided practice as
they develop language skills for meaningful
communication through whole texts.
(…) The objective of this approach is to make students
acquainted with several texts which have a different
context. The result will be the following: students will
“produce and understand oral and written discourse
in various natural or stimulated communicative
settings in which they participate with a specific and
explicit intention” (Mumba and Mkandawire, 2019,
n.p.).
According to this teaching approach, the ability to
understand different types of text helps to strengthen
overall communicative skills in a second language.
How does a text-based language teaching strategy
work?
“The Text-based Integrated Approach means that a
series of lessons probably one or two weeks’ work will
comprise a unit which centre around a written text.
This will have to be chosen carefully by the teacher
for its suitability in terms of interest, level of difficulty,
and appropriateness to the learners” (Mumba and
Mkandawire, 2019, n.p.).
A language, after all, does incorporate different texts.
For instance, rather than just teaching isolated words
such as teeth, we can make up a story about how
important it is to brush our teeth, at least twice a
day in order to avoid visits to the dentist. It appears
from different studies that students, at any age, learn
more effectively when grammar and vocabulary are taught altogether. And, when the teaching material
makes students enthusiastic. Consequently, it is
recommended to choose texts which will trigger
interest. For instance, young children may be
interested in animals and cartoons whereas older
ones will find topics such as movies, music, sports, or
even politics more appealing.
We can divide the language learning activities under
the text-based approach into two different categories:
Working on the text and working from the text.
Working on the text includes exercises that test
the student’s understanding of the text. Among
them, there are exercises like gap-filling (or fillin-the-blanks), writing summary, linking actions,
paraphrasing, and sequencing events for example.
Among working from the text exercises, there are
debating the idea presented in the text, finding
arguments for and against the topic or thesis
presented by the text, developing a conversation
between student groups using the text’s topic and
vocabulary. Working from the text activities test
the student’s ability to decode at a deeper level
the message of the text and to use the information
learned in a communicative context. Such activities
allow for training both the student’s reading and
speaking skills.
What are the main advantages of the text-based
language teaching approach?
Lessons can integrate debates, roles plays, drama, or
any sort of competition if preparation is given. This
method implies that “teaching should focus on all the
four language skills (speaking, reading, writing and
listening). All activities are designed with reference
to a particular text” (Mumba and Mkandawire, 2019,
n.p.). This particular method seems to increase
memorization and overall learning. As Study.com
points out students can understand the meaning of
new words by themselves by reading them in context
and can also quickly acquire new vocabulary that
evolves around that one topic.

As stated by McCarthy, in An Introduction to
English Morphology, “a proverb is a traditional
saying, syntactically a sentence, whose conventional
interpretation differs from what is suggested by the
literal meaning of the words it contains.”
Associate the meaning with the proverb.
PROVERBS
1. Beggars can’t be choosers 2. A stitch in time saves nine 3. Every cloud has a silver lining 4. Too many cooks spoil the broth 5. It is no use crying over spilt milk
MEANINGS
( ) If you depend on others, you can’t be too picky. ( ) Even difficult situations have something positive hidden within them. ( ) Having too many people involved in a task makes it harder to complete. ( ) After an accident one should look to the future, rather than waste time wishing the accident had no happened. ( ) Anticipating a future problem and taking care to avoid it is less troublesome in the long run than responding to the problem after it has arisen.
The correct sequence of this association is:

Considering the statements presented by Lightbown
and Spada, in How Languages are Learned, about the
behaviourist perspective, a theory of learning that
was very influential in the 1940s and 1950s, especially
in the United States, analyze the following assertions.
I- The behavourists viewed imitation and practice as the primary processes in language development.
II- This theory gives great importance to the environment as the source of everything the child needs to learn.
III- Traditional behaviourists hypothesized that when children imitated the language produced by those around them, their attempts to reproduce what they heard received ‘positive reinforcement’.
IV- Encouraged by their environment, children would continue to imitate and practice the sounds and patterns until they formed ‘habits’ of correct language use.
V- According to this view, the quality and quantity of the language the child hears, as well as the consistency of the reinforcement offered by others in the in the environment, would not shape the child’s language behaviour.
It is correct only what is stated in

Why Even Basic A.I. Use Is So Bad for Students
Last spring, it became clear to me that over half the students in my large general education lecture course had used artificial intelligence tools, contrary to my explicit policy, to write their final take-home exams. (Ironically, the course was titled Contemporary Moral Problems: The Value of Human Life.) I had asked them about some very recent work in philosophy, parts of which happened to share titles with entirely different ideas in medieval theology. You can guess which topics the students ended up “writing” about.
My situation was hardly unique — rampant A.I. cheating has been reported all over the country. But I felt a dread I struggled to express until a colleague articulated the problem in stark terms: “Our students are about to turn subcognitive,” she said. That was it. At stake are not just specialized academic skills or refined habits of mind but also the most basic form of cognitive fluency. To leave our students to their own devices — which is to say, to the devices of A.I. companies — is to deprive them of indispensable opportunities to develop their linguistic mastery, and with it their most elementary powers of thought. This means they will lack the means to understand the world they live in or navigate it effectively.

But I felt a dread I struggled to express until a colleague articulated the problem in stark terms: “Our students are about to turn subcognitive,” she said. That was it. At stake are not just specialized academic skills or refined habits of mind but also the most basic form of cognitive fluency. To leave our students to their own devices — which is to say, to the devices of A.I. companies — is to deprive them of indispensable opportunities to develop their linguistic mastery, and with it their most elementary powers of thought. This means they will lack the means to understand the world they live in or navigate it effectively.

The return-to-office paradox, and other trends in jobs and skills this month
(...) Company leaders frequently argue that office mandates are crucial for collaboration
and creativity. Face-to-face interactions can significantly increase output, research from 2022
shows. A study by MIT on Silicon Valley knowledge-sharing found that cutting in-person
meetings by 25% had the power to reduce patent citations by 8%. Further analysis of Microsoft
engineers in Nature found that all-remote work led to more rigid, siloed networks and less realtime collaboration. The research says remote works… Despite a growing push from corporate
leaders to bring people back to the office, the data tells a different story: Productivity gains are
real: A study of a call centre in Türkiye that went fully remote found agents handled 10% more
calls than pre-pandemic; Flexibility supports wellbeing and retention: A study of a Chinese travel
agency found that staff allowed to work from home two days a week were 33% less likely to quit
and reported higher satisfaction; Flexible work and gender equity: The study in Türkiye also
remote work increased the share of women in the workforce from 50% to 76% by early 2023 -
well above the country's female labour force participation of 35%. (...)
But does fully remote work? While fully remote workers report more engagement and
enthusiasm than their in-office peers, they also experience higher rates of stress, loneliness and
emotional distress. According to Gallup's ‘remote work paradox’, the absence of daily social
connection and navigating tech advance alone can take a toll, especially over time. A recent
survey of 25,000 Europeans found hybrid work best for psychological health and innovation, but the key is flexibility. McKinsey highlights six practices for successful hybrids, including clear
norms, regular in-person time and building trust.
