Says who? Children/students effectively lost months of education and socialization in their formative years. They've been warning about this before AI even entered the picture.

I'm sure AI is going to do even more damage but COVID was an important factor here as well.

Months out of years. It shouldn't be as bad as it is. Plus the US had no lockdowns and still has the drop.
