What Does This Mean?
[ SLANG ][ AI ][ EDUCATION ]
A student or worker's heavy, sometimes concerning reliance on AI tools to complete academic or professional tasks, discussed as a real skill and habit-formation concern.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Professor flagged real AI dependence in the class, half the students can't outline an essay without it."
LORE & ORIGIN
Grew out of education and workplace commentary once AI tool use became so widespread that overreliance itself became a distinct, named issue separate from simply 'using AI.'
