I fucking hate ChatGPT and ai and all of that shit - Lemmy.World

I’ve been working with so many students who turn to it as a first resort for everything. The second a problem stumps them, it’s AI. The first source for research is AI. It’s not even about the tech, there’s just something about not wanting to learn that deeply upsets me. It’s not really something I can understand. There is no reason to avoid getting better at writing.

yep. watching kids squander their one chance at university education over their reliance on this shit is depressing as fuck.

Yeah, like cutting corners and everything is to be expected, and I get that kids are forced to go to school so they especially want to cut corners, but it’s still just wrong

one chance at university education

i mean i dropped out, uh, 5 maybe 6 times so one chance may be overselling it

Show thread9point6Mar 8

I think it’s more that these days it’s pretty expensive to go to university in a lot of countries. So many of the people who go and don’t get anything out of it, are going to have increasingly limited chances to go at it again

Of course that’s just policy, they have free university education in Scotland, so it doesn’t have to be that way

That’s true. Not everyone can conveniently take a year off dead for tax purposes the way I did

good for you. that’s some luck or privilege.

i love when people point out the massive debt i had to take on and will never be able to pay off and the multiple jobs i had to work during college all while having my body disassembled and reassembled as “privilege”

military service.
Show threadMinnesotaGoddamMar 8
okay, would you please explain. you thought killing people was worth education. you’re calling the guy who died twice on the operating table, graduated magna cum laude, had to work a full time and two part time jobs simultaneously while getting his education because whatever scholarships i had my first semester and a half disappeared the second i had to drop out to have my first round of failed surgeries privileged? each surgery cost me over a million dollars and i have had more than i can count. what privilege do you think i had that you didn’t. in 5000 words or less, i really need to understand this.

hey you haven’t answered me yet. i really want to know how i was privileged compared to you

hey, not all of us spend all fucking day on fucking lemmy.

oh and hey, not in any way obligated to explain jack shit to you. what do you need, a fuckng map drawn in crayon?

i mean i dropped out, uh, 5 maybe 6 times so one chance may be overselling it

in fact, get fucked with that attitude, I’ve said all I fucking need to. I’m not going to think for you.

Show threadMinnesotaGoddamMar 9
ah, so you were willing to trade other people’s lives for your education. got it. nothing of your own. nice privilege.
Show threadmojofrododojoMar 9

you should probably go back to school again, I can see round 7 might be needed for someone with that kind of comprehension.

thank you for your service!

get fucked

needed for someone with that kind of comprehension.

you’re the one who thinks dying is a privilege, but y’know. you decided to kill people for benefits. anyways, Thank you for your service!

try not to flunk out of uni on your way to the next time you repeat that clever retort kiddo.
Show threadMinnesotaGoddamMar 9
flunk out of uni? oh gee wow. you decided to it was worth trading other people’s lives (and you knew they were going to be brown) for your benefits, remember? you displayed your values and thus your value
Show threadSLVRDRGNMar 9

Your first comment was about “one chance” possibly being “oversold” because you dropped out many times… which can only be true if you assume that many people would take on massive debt the same way you did.

Which to me makes no sense.

Show threadMinnesotaGoddamMar 9
that massive debt is medical debt, not student debt

Nobody in this thread knows your life story, yet you respond as if they should. First, you say you went back to college 5-6 times. No other information or context for why. Then, you introduce a new fact (that you went into massive debt) when someone says that’s lucky or privileged as though they should have known that information. Then, when they make the rational presumption that your massive debt you acquired throughout your time in college is from going to college, you reveal more information that it’s all medical debt, again as though that should have been obvious without ever giving any indication of that being the case beyond the vague term “survival” (which I took to mean surviving modern society with a high paying degree job).

I understand and appreciate that your statements make sense in your head within the context of your lived experiences, but when you choose to engage with strangers on the internet you are choosing to engage with people who lack that context and need it spelled out for them. So when someone replies to you in a manner that does not match the context they don’t have, maybe it would be a better use of time and energy to just provide that context instead of belittling them for not reading your mind.

And yes, you are still privileged for having gone to college 5-6 times. Not everybody gets accepted to college even once, which makes any college attendance at all some form of privilege. I would think after the second or third acceptance your future applications would be considered more risky for the school. The fact that they accommodated you another 2-3 times after that seems to me a sign of extra privilege, not less. Or is there even more context you’ve withheld that invalidates that line of thinking?
