Comment on A generation taught not to think: AI in the classroom
TheJesusaurus@sh.itjust.works 2 days agoThe point of learning long division is so you understand it. Once you understand it, THEN you can use the calculator.
Your entire argument is prefaced on the assumption that genAI is something that is actually useful.
The corollary of your luddite point is that EVERY SINGLE TECHNOLOGY is useful and groundbreaking and should be adopted.
That’s obviously not the case, lots of technologies are dead ends or can be accomplished much more efficiently with existing technology.
If genAI is a tool, can you tell me what exactly it is that it does?

That wasn’t my experience of learning long division. Not a lot of time was spent on understanding the process. A lot of time was spent on repetition, repetition, repetion until it was wrote. The division button on the calculator was faster, easier and gave more accurate results.
No. The corollary of my luddite argument is that tools are tools. Attacking the tools don’t work to solve systemic problems.
See post for one example of students using it as a tool.
See, the “AI bad” people are funny. In a post about how people are actually using GenAI as a tool to achieve their goals “If genAI is a tool, can you tell me what exactly it does”?
It is a shame the airways a late clogged with this nonsense instead of how the wealthy are using tools, any tools, to concentrate wealth.

I do t think you have great reading comprehension or understand arguments. Maybe get chatgpt to write your next answer

Just to be clear, you just learned that chat gpt can be used as a tool to help someone interpret text? Well at least you learned something

Once again, no. Your assumption is wrong
