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.

    I hate that LLMs have fucked my ability to find decent documentation. The Internet is done for. I’m learning to garden and do basic electronics from text books now.

      I don’t know anything about gardening, but for electronics I can recommend practical electronics for inventors and Atari “the book.” Its focused on arcade cabinet repair but definitely has useful info for basic circuit troubleshooting that is aplicable today.

        I’ve been reading Practical Electronics for Inventors and watching the MIT courses on YouTube.

        Also picked up an Arduino kit and started tinkering, but I’m more interested in circuitry and not coding. My 6-year-old wants to build his own Moog synth because he’s obsessed with Daft Punk and I gotta support that.

      Hopefully not text books that were published in the last 2 years because those risk being written by ai too.

      We’ve reached the carbon dating limit of human knowledge since nothing can now be varied as written by a human unless you personally watched them do it.
