A junior high school student tutored by Shunya Kamei submitted a polished English composition of an improbably high standard, and after being pressed, admitted, "I had ChatGPT help me." Kamei, who tutors students mainly in Osaka under the name Tsunagu Lab, says many students feel no guilt about using AI and accept its answers at face value, though he believes banning its use could crush children's potential. A 2025 survey of 535 university students nationwide found that 194 respondents, or about 36%, had submitted outputs such as text translated by generative AI "as the answer to a foreign language assignment without changing it," revealing the spread of "AI copy-and-paste" practices. Sachiko Kimura, a professor at Dokkyo University who conducted the survey, said, "It's necessary to introduce evaluation methods that cannot be answered by copy-and-paste alone." The survey also found that students with a strong tendency to depend on AI were aware that their thinking ability had declined. Daisuke Yamazaki, a specially appointed professor at Digital Hollywood University Graduate School, tells students to refrain from using generative AI for about the first month after classes begin, noting some students accepted code they did not understand as-is or felt as if they learned to program.
