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.

Because learning for kids/young adults isn’t really the point anymore. The point of doing the learning is to “pass test” or, “get job” or, “move on to the next link in the education chain”. So young people often feel faced with a choice, engage with the process to accomplish the tasks, or dissociate from the process entirely.

This systemic issue is likely why steiner schools and the like are seeing increased interest from parents.

I argue young people actually wanting to learn stuff that they don’t need in work/daily life has always been the exception, historically. How many people are truly intrinsically interested in cellular biology/biochemistry, nuclear physics, and calculus? If they don’t directly need it for their jobs.

I went to school for cellular biology with every intention to be a stay at home mom. Cellular biology is just interesting and fun. Chemistry is interesting but I never would have taken it if it weren’t a requirement.
