The long, hard, stupid way.

"AI didn’t create this problem. The use of generative AI in education and it’s impacts on the job market have just made it increasingly urgent to address the existing deficiencies and opportunities in our educational systems."

I'm still seriously struggling with my health, but I wanted to try getting back into #pyrography and simple wood smoothing etc.

The result: two bookmarks which aren't good enough to sell by my standards, so need remaking.

🖥️ 🧠 ChatGPT as a cognitive crutch: Evidence from a randomized controlled trial on knowledge retention

"The findings align with cognitive offloading theory and the ‘desirable difficulties’ principle: while AI assistance may ease initial learning, it appears to undermine the effortful processes needed for robust learning. "

Farsi

Language learning

Persian,[a] also known by its endonym Farsi,[b] is a Western Iranian language belonging to the Iranian branch of the Indo-Iranian subdivision of the Indo-European languages. Persian is a pluricentric language predominantly spoken and used officially within Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan in three mutually intelligible standard varieties, respectively Iranian Persian (officially known as Persian),[12][13][14] Dari Persian (officially known as Dari since 1964),[15] and Tajiki Persian (officially known as Tajik since 1999).[16][17] It is also spoken natively in the Tajik variety by a significant population within Uzbekistan,[2][18][19] as well as within other regions with a Persianate history in the cultural sphere of Greater Iran. It is written officially within Iran and Afghanistan in the Persian alphabet, a derivative of the Arabic script, and within Tajikistan in the Tajik alphabet, a derivative of the Cyrillic script.
