Comment on What are your thoughts about AI?

You couldn’t manage your life in the event of every possible problem either, the question then becomes which things should you know how to do yourself, and which things can be delegated.
I don’t know how to repair a car beyond changing a tire or the oil, but even that isn’t really necessary anymore since many cars don’t even come with a spare at this point and knowing how to change the oil is now irrelevant to me, since I’m using an EV.
Knowing how to ferment for preservation may come in handy for saving a couple of dollars, but it’s hardly a life saving skill anymore. Even in the event of a massive catastrophe, it’s unlikely that fermentation would come in handy before aid arrived or you were able to leave the area.

Your response is actually baffling to me.
I’m not sure why you think parents are there to serve you every piece of knowledge.
You’re an autonomous human being and you’d better learn how to learn on your own if you want to have a happy life.
As you get older you’re going to realize that nobody is going to spoon to serve you free knowledge … That’s something that is hard fought, absolutely not a gift from parents or anything else. You have to do the work.

You think it’s a kids job to learn how to become an adult themselves? What the fuck
I’m 40, with my own kids. I’ve been teaching them everything I think they should know how to do to be an adult when they move out. How to cook and clean, make a budget, fill out forms, how to show up on time, be part of a team, etc. The school is taking care of most of the academics, but I add some extra things that the school fails to cover as extensively as I’d like such as how to properly use Microsoft Excel.
What they do to grow once they’re out of the house isn’t my problem, I’m just setting the foundation and that absolutely is the job of parents and teachers.
