In other news, death is inevitable and the sky is blue.
2 things:
- The article is from Jan-2026;
- This is the actual article.
2 things:
- Eat shit.
- And die.
“may?”
No shit, Sherlock.
Didn’t even have to type it out you took care of it already.
You mean the computer program that removes the critical thinking aspect of school instruction is having detrimental effects on americas children and their excecutive functions? Say it ain’t so.
Now now, there is no real proof that getting something or someone else to do things for you would stop you from learning how to do it!!
Look at me, I got someone to pass my driving test and I’ve only had 22 accidents this year. Way down on last year!!
It’s as if some notable proportion of humanity suddenly switched to eating nothing but vaguely food-shaped plastic, then a study concluded that that might have negative effects nutritionally.
No shit?
no shit!
Zero poop.
Absence of bowel movement
Dearth of excrement
Very little duh.
Study says sky is blue. Study says eating food is necessary for survival. Study says your mom is smokin’. More on this and other shit we already knew at 11.
If your kid becomes dependent on you to continue wiping his ass well into his 30s, thats a failure of the parent. We are raising a generation of students who are dependent on machine statistics, not reason, to decide whats correct and right. God help us all.
You’re on to something here. I raised my kids to use technology as a tool, not as a babysitter. They didn’t have smartphones with SIMs until after they’d learned to drive. But they knew how to count in binary on their fingers by the time they were three. They’re really good at recognizing when something was LLM-generated, and only use LLMs when it’s required.
I think there’s quite a few kids like them out there, but they aren’t the ones you hear about.
God I can only imagine how bored they were being taught to count in Kindergarten.
Back in my day, we had to do homework ourselves…
Back in my day, a few of us did homework, and others got other people to do it for them, or made up excuses as to why they couldn’t turn it in.
“Do you know how to use microfiche ?” is my generational secret handshake
Replace “school” with any place they ai is used and this headline holds true.
I mean, the problem is LLMs. If I were to replace “school” with “biomedicine” or “protein folding,” then that would be clearly wrong. However, the AI used in those fields are machine learning models, not LLMs
Even LLMs have use cases were they are a good tool - fixing grammar, low risk translations, etc. Unconstrained chatbots with models that are way past the point of diminishing returns is just not one of them.
Yes, absolutely correct. I suppose I should say that dependence on LLMs is the problem, more than anything.
I use AI to my advantage, as long as it’s still at the “free until you’re addicted” stage. I found that it’s particularly good as a language teacher - learning new languages is one of my hobbies.
However, i am over 70 and will not fall into the “let AI tell me what to think and then think it” trap; i can see through it. This ability should be taught first at school, before the kids can use the useful side of the tool. But most teachers themselves are used to make the kids think what they want them to think, so I doubt that it will work.
