A short YouTube monologue by Justin R. Lester arguing that AI can replace traditional study groups by acting as the chapter, book, quiz-maker, and test-writer—always available and faster. Lester raises a central question about whether students are becoming smarter or simply obtaining better answers through AI.

AI is about to replace your study group, and no one's ready. See, why spend hours in a library when your friends can ask AI to do the very same thing? To be the chapter, the book, to quiz you and to write the test to make sure you do it right. It's faster. It's always available. It never says, I didn't read that part. But here's a question. Are kids getting smarter, or are we just getting better answers?
