"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.

Is this supposed to be against "AI" or against school? Both?
The underlying problem here isn't "AI" so much as the "education system" being based on pointless exercises that a computer can now do better.
We don't make students do endless, multiplication problems anymore either.
Maybe... but that's the same argument used by Musk to ban music or "foreign" languages' learning in Astra Nova School, since AI can do both "better"...
Learning writing skills and learning to do math are not "pointless exercises". My kids drill math problems and practices writing (sometimes even by hand with a pen and paper!) and they go to a public school.
Testing reading, writing, and math comprehension are important skills to learn. If you think these skills are pointless, you're good and fully fucking cooked.
