the kids remain undefeated
@susankayequinn OST - Out Sourced Thought
@susankayequinn Something tells me I'll be hiring Jr Collins in 10 years.

@susankayequinn my students tell me they don't like AI. They hate to learn AI prompting at school (one of the teachers is apparently doing that)

It is tedious, they hate it and rather want to think on their own.

I think the kids are fine as well ~

@susankayequinn I dated a third party thinker for a few weeks.

It was uncomfortable to never know if a word out of their mouth was their own, or was that of a 'known bad actor' mega corp.

They broke my trust in them when they discussed info which was incredibly sensitive and personal to us both - with chatGPT.

I told them of my grievances and they said they would stop sharing sensitive info. They didn't, but lied to me.

Apparently I was dating ChatGPT with them as a fleshy intermediary.

@papiris @susankayequinn that is frightening.

@colinstu @susankayequinn yeah, it was and still is.

I can't condone folks willingly inserting anti-humanitarian evil mega corp A through Z into the conversations, relations or deep thoughts they hold with other people; or themselves.

These are essential parts of what makes us human, and it's none of Evil Mega Corps ™️ business.

Relinquishing agency over the core of your being, to anyone, is terrible at best. Doing so to mega corps' is worse. Forcing that onto others is anti-human behaviour..

Thanks; that's going on my BlueSky account.
@SoftwareTheron I got it from bsky, so you might tag the OP
@susankayequinn @drj A 16yo – who liked and used AI last year a lot – now tells me „AI is for losers“.

@aoe @drj
this is so important

I'm convinced that big users of AI are highly susceptible to social pressure and that can be actively used to stop the proliferation (esp among those most susceptible to the scam thinking of the AI corps).

@aoe @susankayequinn @drj this gives me hope, thanks for sharing!
@susankayequinn Your 14-year-old is wiser than you fear! Grateful to know that!
@DEWLine people consistently underestimate the kids
@susankayequinn They make me so proud sometimes. We may not have prevented this shitty world, but boy are they navigating it!
@susankayequinn "Is this AI?" Is the new "say sike right now". I love how meme culture is distinct in each generation, yet somehow the same.
@susankayequinn
I have such a bad memory for quotes, but I shall make sure to rmbr this one
@susankayequinn holy fuck that’s a burn and a half lol

My 14yo tells me kids who use ChatGPT are referred to as "third-party thinkers"
