This is exactly my point. A user will still need to get the data they want from whatever the modern tool is, and it will be a form of "prompt", even as that form evolves. Understanding the best way to use the modern tools was my point (as with the calculator analogy).

It's about teaching the student critical thinking and inventiveness to reduce "garbage in" and increase "gold out".

Ok, totally agreed. The question is: how many teachers really have those skills themselves?

I think you might be on the right track to focus on formal logic for the most advanced use cases.

Even for the more general population (like in grade school level curricula) teaching effective communication by having the student ask the right questions/prompts, using the results to produce useful follow-up prompts, etc. are skills teachers already have and overlap with what a traditional essay accomplishes.
