    I asked Chatty for a TL;DR:

    Western fear of AI comes from a fascist obsession with “owning” ideas. Using AI isn’t a big deal — if students can “cheat,” it’s because courses are badly designed, not because students are inherently dishonest. Most students don’t cheat; the narrative that they do is exaggerated to justify punishing them unfairly. Academia exploits students, charging massive fees while offering poor educational value and using dishonesty accusations to control them. Education should be free and empowering, not a tool for gatekeeping and oppression. The current system betrays the purpose of education and contributes to larger societal decline.

    I think you went a bit too far. Most of this is also only accurate for the US.

        I think the actual risk takeaway from this is that you wrote a giant fucking wall of text that essentially boiled down to, “I think AI is fine I think that academia is terrible”.

        You might have said some other stuff but as I said, it’s a wall of text, so if you had some good points to make it was lost in the unnecessary voburs wall of self-flattering.

            You are mistaking ability to read with desire to read.

            I skimmed it and it mostly was just your rambling opinion about the education system in presumably the United States because it didn’t match up with my comprehension of it in general. So I really appreciated the person who generated the summary thus preventing me from having to read the whole thing.

            It was especially appreciated because it subsequently turned out that your entire post was essentially irrelevant to what we were talking about. Hence by the way the downvotes.
