Sure. We can have different definitions of thinking and we can disagree that AI in its current form even thinks at all. It is all very debatable as it for aure gives the illusion of thinking and even has moments that are very convincing, but then later you realize it really does not understand what it thinks up. It just knows the pattern and predictions and not really the content itself which really makes you wonder if it really is thinking at all to your point I suspect. I can see your point if so, but thinking seems like a spectrum of traits and as far as my experience, LLMs showcase some thinking, just not nearly enough. Still very impressive all the same despite the hallucinations and odd errors.

But if I missed your point, could you please rephrase.

These images and press release is not for gamers, but for shareholders to “feel” like their investments are going to pay off.

It can think for itself of course, just not to the level most humans can yet but it has for sure been slowly improving. Unsure if it will ever be fully able to really think for itself at the level of most humans but I suspect we will eventually crack it and get very close to that goal.

Have you noticed that while perhaps the majority are learning less due to tech, some are excelling more?

Cannot disagree there, but that accessibility does come with the benefit that you can also choose to learn not just cheat.

We both seem to be reading the replies wrong as I was not proposing. It is just an observation.

Do you mean caught in a honey trap?

I do not think it is that black and white. Some students may use AI in ways to skip actually learning and “maybe” AI is making that situation worse, but there are for sure other students that are using AI to learn more than they ever have before. Maybe there is a divide developing with those who use to learn and achieve new heights, and those who use it to skip doing things and learning altogether.

Nothing new there.

If someone uses it to cheat and not learn, it is not AIs fault they did not learn?
