Designing Assessments That Motivate Students to Learn (and Not Run to AI?)

I just asked this question on Twitter, and am posting it here as a blogpost so folks can go and read the awesome responses it’s been getting:

So what are the characteristics of an assignment that AI cannot fully succeed in writing?

Is that the right question? Or is the question we should be asking:

How do I design an assessment that makes my students want to truly learn? That motivates inquiry and expression?
