I fucking hate ChatGPT and ai and all of that shit
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.
it happens in the workplace too
i have seen cases where even if a course is useless and just fluff to sell you more courses, managers will ask you to finish it so they can tick that box and justify whatever they spent on it
they really don’t care if you actually learned anything, they just wanna put that on paper.
