Yes, but like mental math, it didn’t go away when we introduced calculators, and there’s a correlation between people who have those skills and income levels (which I’m using as a proxy for “usefulness”). The education system needs to adapt to assignments that students can’t just paste into ChatGPT and call it a day- students need to keep spending effort learning.

AI is not your enemy. It IS the future whether you like it or not. Your kids will benefit from AI in ways you cannot even imagine.

True but a downvote magnet on Lemmy. But I would dispute the “benefit” part… What exactly is the benefit in not having to learn anything? Why would I even want to exist if not to be good at something and create something? It just seems like we’re building towards stuff that’s better than us at doing what WE want to do as a society. Thinking about chess here: why would I care about the best Stockfish moves in every line of my favorite opening if no one will ever be able to explain them?

Of course AI isn’t the enemy. The enemy is their corporate ownership.
But no doubt AI will be huge in the future, in the sense that “AI” basically means “much better computing capabilities than we have now.”
