Students are ignorant, it's why they are students.
AI is a tool like any other, you can build something with it, or you can cut your hand off.
To be completely frank, that is a very disrespectful thing to say. My students are intelligent and capable, and most importantly they are very respectful of other's time and effort, both their teacher and their peer by choosing to understand the material instead of cheating. They attended school to improve themselves by understanding and absorbing existing human knowledge, not because they are ignorant.
Ignoring some things doesn't make you ignorant.
Now, your comment on the other hand...
Students are extremely motivated and versatile. We wouldn't survive without them at work. They're definitely not ignorant.
