I shared one of the above TikTok videos, the "how to summarize lectures in seconds" one, at a workshop at UVA today, and faculty here have been referencing it all afternoon. Thanks for taking one for the team, Marc, and going on TikTok to find these, so that I didn't have to! They're really helpful for getting inside at least some students' experiences.
I'm glad they are helpful! Since Mississippi banned access to Tiktok on state networks, I've had to go use my private computer at home to download the videos into slides just so folks can see them.
I think the topic of note taking is really important in student learning. On the one hand, during the pandemic, videos of people actually creating works of art with their lecture notes or books proliferated, and I too witnessed this type of people creating masterpieces on their iPads or notebooks. On the other hand, as you have rightly highlighted, there are issues of student involvement whose critical issues, perhaps, are increasingly coming to the surface with the development of AI apps.
After all the attention that AI has just paid it deserves to have a good examination result and diploma. This means that efficient AI operators not knowledgeable students, will be best suited for the technical work of tomorrow. All we need now is an AI that can manage without any ex student or manager to run its affairs.
Yup. That's what these students aren't thinking about. If this program can do all my listening, studying and writing....then what am I there for? You're a step behind the cashier that got replaced by a self-checkout machine.

So that opens the question of what should you be doing that is worthwhile?
this is SUCH an interesting article, with resonances well beyond issues around teaching and learning
