Welcome to General Memes

Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CruelWe’re here for laughs, not fights.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it light — argue in the comments, not with insults

Rule 2: No Forbidden FormatsNot every image deserves immortality on the memmlefield. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (seriously, don’t ruin the fun)
  • NSFW memes must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can take care of it.

Otherwise consider this your call to duty. Get posting or laughing. Up to you

Aye, when grades are the goal then using AI to cheat your way into better grades seems rational at the time; educational institutions need to be reformed so that grades are not the indicator, for the indicator has become the goal, not the actual education.

Not writing your own papers.

Still claim to have been "studying."

To me studying is the learning you do. Writing essays is purely so the teacher can see what you’ve learnt.

So I can see how not writing essays doesn’t contradict learning.

Writing essays is a skill in itself, not sure how you'd acquire that skill without practicing it

[–] Quokka@quokk.au -2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

If you’re learning a writing course, maybe that’s a relevant skill to have. Often it’s not however.

Learning how to share your thoughts in a way the the reader will understand is a skill universally useful no matter the future white-collar job, from making sparkling water to software engineering.

AI writes essays for you

Complains about no job you studied for existing

AI writes for you

you studied for?

I think I see the problem here.


More seriously, most people don't end up working what they studied for. And the job market absolutely does suck.

If ai was writing your essays, you weren't studying for anything.

AI isn't what is destroying jobs.

But it looks like it destroyed your education. That one you can fix.

Pls explain how ai isnt destroying jobs. are u aware of current job market? If a job can be done with keyboard and mouse, its gonna disappear soon.

it didn't destroy your education; you did

Wtf are kids doing in college now anyway? All the jobs their going for have been flooded with slop that corporations love. I have no idea how a college student would survive today.

Education is important. Don’t fall for the lie

[–] diffaldo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Indeed but there is good chance to become unemployed after graduating.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago

I’m a trade worker and I’m back in college pursuing a masters.

Don't worry, nuclear war is about to set us back quite a bit.
