Relentless advancement to produce new gen of blob-no-thoughts seppos

I asked Wendy if I could read the paper she turned in, and when I opened the document, I was surprised to see the topic: critical pedagogy, the philosophy of education pioneered by Paulo Freire. The philosophy examines the influence of social and political forces on learning and classroom dynamics. Her opening line: “To what extent is schooling hindering students’ cognitive ability to think critically?” Later, I asked Wendy if she recognized the irony in using AI to write not just a paper on critical pedagogy but one that argues learning is what “makes us truly human.” She wasn’t sure what to make of the question. “I use AI a lot. Like, every day,” she said. “And I do believe it could take away that critical-thinking part. But it’s just — now that we rely on it, we can’t really imagine living without it.”

    In med school most people are AI stans even though it’s often useless because it can’t fetch the newest info or doesn’t have anything detailed on the topic. People will ask questions about a certain topic and inevitably no matter how much actual explanation has been done someone will send a screenshot of ChatGPT. Sometimes people will insist exam questions are incorrect because ChatGPT says a different, obviously incorrect thing. I’ve seen a dude not listen to the teacher in class and ask ChatGPT in real time when the teacher was giving a very clear explanation.

    Worst, we’ve had our school give conferences on “Using AI to boost productivity” to med students.
