This thinking just feels like moving in the wrong direction. As an elementary teacher, I know that by next year all my assessments need to be practical or interview based. LLMs are here to stay and the quicker we learn to work with them the better off students will be.

    And forget about having any sort of integrity or explaining to kids why it's important for them to know how to do shit themselves instead of being wholly dependent on corporate proprietary software whose accessibility can and will be manipulated to serve the ruling class on a whim 🤦

    It's insane talking to people that don't do math.

    You ask them any mundane question and they just shrug, and if you press them they pull out their phone to check.

    It's important that we do math so that we develop a sense of numeracy. By the same token it's important that we write because it teaches us to organize our thoughts and communicate.

    These tools will destroy the quality of education for the students that need it the most if we don't figure out how to reign in their use.

    If you want to plug your quarterly data into GPT to generate a projection report I couldn't care less. But for your 8th grade paper on black holes, write it your damn self.

    Putting quarterly data into ChatGPT is dangerous for companies because that information is being fed into the AI and accessible by its creators, which means you're just giving away proprietary information and trade secrets by doing that. But do these chucklefucks give one single shit? No. Because they're selfish, lazy assholes that want robots to do their thinking for them.
