Professors Say AI Is Destroying Their Students' Ability to Think - SLRPNK

Lemmy

It’s absolutely terrifying. I am a returning student to uni in my thirties and the only person not using any AI. They literally depend on it.

I just had a classmate the other day turn to me, frustrated, saying “You ever ask chat(gpt) a question and it gives you a whole, like, paragraph you then have to read? like, why can’t it simplify it?”

So yeah, even reading paragraphs is too much for these people. Future workforce is fucking cooked.

I have a friend who was frustrated that his programming exam was too hard (Python) and stated " why do I need to learn this? I can just use ai and get the job done ". We’re absolutely fugged.

It’s honestly disheartening. I understand our education system is not well in that tests aren’t actually very condusive to learning, but they treat the idea of learning a skill like it’s some obnoxious chore they just want over with so they never have to do it again when its like bruh civilization/tech grows exponentially y’all gotta learn your whole lives and it should be something you ENJOY it should give you pride to be good at something or understand a subject thoroughly.

i don’t even know what to begin doing about this problem but even if you pretend the environmental impacts are fine/manageable, I can’t help but think this shits gotta be destroyed for the future of humanity.

learning isn’t fun for the vast majority of people, it’s painful and miserable.
