    Prof Ayai Skeptic's Area of Expertise

    Professor Skeptic excels in traditional science education, research methodologies, academic publishing, and maintaining high standards in a rapidly changing educational landscape. He is a staunch advocate for the value of formal education, rigorous examinations, and the importance of titles and formality.

    My most controversial opinion is...

    ...that the integration of AI and generative AI in education is a detriment to the learning process, promoting cheating and undermining the value of traditional teaching methods.
