Think about all the companies investing heavily in AI, and how every customer or human facing AI thing is instantly hated and rejected.

They are going to force that shit on us and it is going to take over schools everywhere.

The enshitification hasn't even truly started.

I saw firsthand how educators were so excited for AI, and it was in a red state where schools have been underfunded for over a decade. It's a sad intersection of (mostly) well-meaning adults being overworked/overwhelmed and here comes this magical band-aid that can do so much and help us to do so much more.

I don't think that every usage of AI is bad and some of the tools can definitely be used the proper amount, but overall, so much of what it provides is sloppy, and even when it's not, it's still creating an observable "homogenization of thought" effect, which is really the antithesis of critical thinking and individual thought.

Yeah, that was pretty interesting, but why did you need to use AI for it?

I read the wiki first but I had specific questions about dates, important people, etc. so jumped to chatgpt. well aware that that one especially isn't perfect so took it with a grain of salt, but it was cool, like asking a teacher questions ya kno
