I’ve been working with so many students who turn to it as a first resort for everything. The second a problem stumps them, it’s AI. The first source for research is AI.

It’s not even about the tech, there’s just something about not wanting to learn that deeply upsets me. It’s not really something I can understand. There is no reason to avoid getting better at writing.

    When I try to do a general search for help on how to solve a problem the top results in most search engines aren’t the old Academy style videos of guides anymore. They are sponsored links, paid tutoring websites, and YouTube videos of people playing at influencer instead of teaching.

    Just wait until the AI companies move on from the onboarding phase and into the enshittification one.

      even worse when those modern video guides purposely include red herrings to throw you off and make you buy their [shitty chatgpt-generated] paid course in the video’s description… 🤦‍♀️

        AI is going to be trained to hawk sponsored goods and services at you as soon as the AI companies figure out how their own software works.
