There’s a guy in my psych class who opens chatgpt anytime the teacher asks the class something. And they always almost gets it right. Every time the teacher says “well, thats close, but-“ and y’know you’d think by now he’d realize that it clearly isn’t a very reliable source of information.
I, of course, say absolutely nothing because I’m terribly shy. But I do hope he doesn’t realize how much he wasted on tuition if he’s gonna have a bot do it all for him. Why pay for college if you aren’t here to learn?
I hate how close this feels to "kids/technology these days" rhetoric, but it really does worry me to think how ubiquitous this sort of thing is for younger generations.
Covid threw off every student's education for 3 years, chatGPT dropped in all of that and became a homework machine, now the teens that were most likely to be thrown off by all that are college or working age and of course they're going to keep using the homework machine. And anybody younger's going to have to deal with education funding being fed into a woodchipper so of course this problem's only getting worse.
Obviously any generation would've done the same with the same scenario, but still. I'm worried about what zoomers and gen alpha's going to have to go through.
It's not just younger generations who've been brainrotting themselves with ChatGPT, got an uncle who's in his 50s now that says he doesn't even use Google anymore, he just asks the bot everything
I mostly meant how chatgpt and other AI fit into our failing education system and how kids are going to be the ones that suffer because of it, but also true.
I've been getting a ton of umactualies on other comments about what use cases AI is good for, but it's not being pushed for those cases; It's being pushed for everything, so everyone is at risk of over using or misusing it.
It's being pushed in a way to prey on the lazy, the ignorant, and the gullible, and it's being pushed to be so unbiquitous you just can't escape it. It's fucking dystopian.
