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.

How can I convince fellow lazy students that they shouldn't need chatbots to help them learn? (thelemmy.club)

My high school is known for being sweaty because it has IB but also people use AI all the time here, to the extent that “chatgpt” is used as a verb. Unfortunately my classmates just want to get through their work as easily and possible and grab the diploma.

I tried to convince several people to not use AI or at LEAST use a different one from chatgpt, but I generally only got good results from people who were not taking very difficult classes. The more popular lot of Advanced Learning people even brushed me off as a “larper” when I tried talking to them about this.

How should I get more people to be willing to see chatgpt as something besides the easy way?

A lot of employers only care about the diploma. They use it to weed out applicants. I'm really stuck out here without one when I can easily perform many jobs. What's crazy is that I can make more money without one than those jobs but I don't want to work nights and weekends. I just don't see the value of 4 years of school if jobs are only paying $20/hr.

Life is a gamble... for now you feel like you don't need it but eventually the HR algorithms are going to put a ceiling there just because you don't have a diploma. Working under someone who stopped thinking when they graduated or used AI to cheat can be miserable.

FWIW some people recommend getting a minimum-effort degree... but I would advocate taking advantage of the detour and studying something interesting (which may mean getting an MS). YMMV.
