    So the goal is to pretend to teach and pretend to learn?

      When wasn’t it?

      I learned how to formulate the exact BS that satisfies the what the passing grades are looking for. I never learned, I just ground everything like I was grinding levels in a game. I forgot literally everything as soon as I graduated.

    Tech billionaires trying to make it profitable by scamming schools. I bet they’ll want to charge many times the salary of the teachers they want to replace.

      Not at first. They’ll undercut teacher salaries until there are no teachers left to fall back on, and then they’ll charge as much as they want.

      Because the teacher’s aren’t learning it did quick enough.

    Where did you hear that?
    So far I’ve only heard about teaching kids how to use it as a tool rather than trusting everything it says, or even replacing a human. And I’d agree on that. Too many people (by far not just kids) take what ChatGPT, Gemini and chatbots alike say for granted.

    Maybe the Singularity already quietly happened and it won’t become apparent until it’s far too late to pull the plug?

      I’ve been listening to other humans bullshit for 30+ years now. I’m willing to hear out another sentient lifeforms take, at this point.

      AI: “Kill all humans”

      “Damn, it’s still just the same old shit, isn’t it?”

        I’ll let you know what my cat’s opinion on this.

        Edit: he say “food”.

    The teacher is AI, and the student uses AI to answer the questions. It’s just two AI talking to each other with a middleman.

    One of my cousins is a high school history teacher, they solve the AI problem by making the students hand write everything. :)

      If you resort to luddism simply because technology (like anything) can be abused, you are failing your students and not preparing them for the modern world.

        Maybe, maybe not. If it’s a project or a paper, sure, this genie isn’t going back in the bottle so might as well acclimate. And also judge harshly for error since that’s kinda the big reason you don’t trust the things outright.

        If it’s a closed book exam or some other “prove you know this” like showing your math work, then it’s an effective method of preventing cheating. More or less, bit of an arms race with that.

          Very good points. But the original commenter said they made the students hand-write “everything”, so I assumed it was daily work.

        I think if they use AI enough to memorize the data and repeat it manually, isn’t that just studying with extra steps? 🤔

    Those aren’t exclusive or contradictory to each other.

    The dissolution of the department of education already isn’t great for public and nonprofit schooling, but colleges have been profitable businesses for a long time in the USA and even generally well received schools like ASU have been partnering with OpenAI.
