“Hey ChatGPT, was the American Civil War about slavery?” Having that fact stored in your head is inherently different than looking it up. Knowing that America has a history of racism and the south have a history of revisionism is very important.

It’s not the sort of thing you’d think to “ask AI” at all if you didn’t already have some of the groundwork. An education is important.
