School spends a long time “wasting” our time but learning things is a great way to learn how to interpret information and make actual informed decisions

    Writing essays, for instance, helps one structure their thoughts and form with them a narrative. It’s actually really concerning that even that is being delegated to ChatGPT, as if people weren’t ignorant and mentally incompetent enough already. 😭

      Regarding students cheating with ChatGPT, I liked this article from a professor, quote:

      “Students are afraid to fail, and AI presents itself as a savior. But what we learn from history is that progress requires failure. It requires reflection.”

      But when failing anything in class, students usually end up having fewer options, need to get better marks elsewhere to compensate, or get forced to repeat a year. So they use any tool or technique that might help them pass.
