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.

It’s because humans naturally want to avoid unpleasant work, and public schools teach us that learning is hard and work for some reason, rather than something fun. For instance, I used to read for fun an unbelievable amount, but then I was forced to do book reports with a required list of books to “prove” I was reading them, and it was just absolutely no fun at all. Why not have a discussion about it and the teacher can check the spark notes? This changes at community college back to learning is fun, but just years of being told to do busywork and be a drone kills learning for a lot of people I feel.

This answer speaks to me. I used to read nonstop when I was a child. Fiction, non-fiction, didn’t matter. I loved it.

After college, it took me a good 5-6 years to start reading for fun again, and it’s never quite been the same.

Kinda same. One time in primary school when I got a book from the school’s library, I had to walk about 10 minutes to get to the bus station after classes, and I remember being disappointed that this meant I couldn’t continue the book for those 10 minutes. I also had a children’s encyclopedia back then with all sorts of topics from astronomy to history to technology, that I read several times.

Granted, I was never necessarily all in on reading. I would be split between that and gaming or TV as well. But compare that to today, after school managed to kill reading for me, and now I don’t really read, and just play games or watch anime instead.
