  No, de decisively don’t “need to work with the tools we have”. We have to teach our students the dangers if that abomination and ways to disrupt, hamper, poison and destroy this stuff.

  Don’t the tools we have include internet and even (gasp) book literacy rather than going to a chatbot? At very best, evidence AI helps anyone is shaky. At worst, we are witnessing a reverse Flynn effect in education right now, and this alleged tool - besides not doing what was promised and can’t even make enough money to prop itself up - has been caught enticing children into suicide. If a billionaire like Sam Altman can’t code in a guardrail to save a child’s life, why would you?

  Why encourage it?

  Are the children being taught a tool, or are they being used as guinea pigs?

  a common complaint about AI in the classroom is there is no open source, federated, or other ‘free’ version. It sucks,

  The usable free LLMs that can be run on-prem sucks? Is that what sucks? Because there are some.

  Do the complainers know they’re complaining about a non-issue? Can you use that situation to help describe what Beggaring the Question means?
