Confused Often

I was told that I’d get used to not having a headphone jack. I still want a fucking headphone jack. I hate that phones don’t have them. It’s stupid and awful and I hate it

I do really think that the use of ChatGPT and genAI by students highlights the fundamental flaw of our education system focusing almost entirely on grades and test scores rather than generating curiosity and inquiry, which produces individuals who fundamentally do not understand that the purpose of an assignment is meant to be to learn *how* to do something, not simply to produce a product you can turn in to get an A+

that post with the yam experiments

At the very start of the AI panic, one thing my Black History teacher said that really stuck with me was that AI being a problem in a classroom reflected on the teacher and the curriculum, not the students. If the most important thing for a student to do is bubble in correct answers, submit assignments at certain word counts before deadlines, etc., then AI certainly poses a threat to that teacher. If the class features the teacher genuinely interfacing with students in a way that lets them gauge their understanding of the course material, then they shouldn't need to worry about AI.

that is true and a good point. i would just add the caveat that many schools in many countries micromanage teachers to the extent that they have no control over the curriculum, the assessments, or the grading. ai poses a challenge to that system, and to teachers that have bought into the system that challenge will feel personal.

i have a suggestion
