"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Really hate the framing of the title, though the article is a bit more nuanced. AI may be able to "do your homework" in the same way a robot may be able to "eat your dinner", but it cannot do these things for you, only independent of you. No one can "do your homework for you" because the point of homework is to help you understand the information through exercise. Saying it's done because all questions were answered is like saying you had dinner because a robot removed the food from your plate. You are not getting the actual point of the exercise, the way you're not getting the nutrition from the food. You can argue about how helpful/nutritious the work/food is, but to argue that the work/food is not necessary is a blatant lie told to you by people trying to starve you.

This idea that "memorizing things is bad" and that memorizing can be offloaded comes from a fundamental misunderstanding of education. In order to understand things we have to know certain things. Even first had experiences are "committed to memory" so that you can draw from that information later. These people are attempting to rob others of an education and the ability to understand the world around them. I don't know how they can live with themselves.

This seems like the same argument people had with calculators. We’ve had calculators, spreadsheets, cash registers for half a century now so why do the still teach math?
