If students abused AI tools in the academic field, it could likely lead to a loss of personal understanding of certain topics, which could decrease the ability of students to form strong critical thinking skills and to know information without needing to ask an AI first. That said, AI could be contrasted to search engines like Google, in the sense that, while Google can provide knowledge, Google hasn't necessarily been used to make learning or memorization obsolete, but rather, have simply made the storage and retrieval of information faster. However, just like AI, search engines can be abused to get access to information during, say, a test where memorization was the key point.

AI can be abused in the academic field in a similar way to how Search Engines can be abused, while it can be abused, it is also a great research and learning tool that could speed up academic assignments and learning. However, AI does have the advantage when it comes to speed, and arbitrary data creation, in the sense that instead of just providing information that could be used in an essay, it could instead write the essay itself. This will likely come with the consequence of more writing being checked with AI output detectors, and increased scrutiny of the ongoing educational and writing process by teachers after work is assigned.
