Move over textbooks – AI chatbots are the new study buddies in American schools! 📚🤖 A nationwide survey reveals ChatGPT and similar tools have exploded in popularity, with 75% of students and 79% of teachers now using them, up from just 37% and 55% last year.

Forget the 'robots stealing jobs' narrative – 8-in-10 respondents say tech boosts education. Students are crafting essays with AI sidekicks, while teachers brainstorm lesson plans faster than you can say 'grading crisis.' ✨

As one Gen Z survey-taker quipped: 'ChatGPT doesn’t replace homework – it upgrades it.' Game on, education! 🎯
