It’s so upsetting and frustrating to see this tech utterly sabotage education. It of course sounds like the ageless echo of elders decrying new technology for “corrupting the youth”. Maybe it is, maybe we’re all utterly wrong, but this feels fundamentally different than books, television, the internet, etc. Students are not learning in new ways, or learning any skills to improve or expand their knowledge - they are copy-pasting and accepting whatever slop they get without further critique or oversight. They are turning their crucial education into a button press and not giving it a second thought. That’s never going to lead to intellectual improvement.
