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.
I remember learning the quadric equation, and I memorized it like I did everything, but did I really ever learn it?
The same thing happened in linear algebra in university, I had no idea what I was doing or why it would ever be useful to solve a real world problem.
So I view this as the default state of teaching, and there is no where to go but up. If an AI can teach by dynamically producing videos and answering questions with visualizations I think it could be a great tool.
I get it, I’m lucky one of my interests as a kid was math, it is comfy in knowing there is a clear final answer to a problem in algebra (even more when there are multiple ways to tackle the same problem)
The issue here is on the education system, aside from the topic (math, grammar, literature), if a kid is not engaged at all then it won’t do shit
