This is excellent. This is exactly what we get for trying to prevent progress.

You can't stay still, it doesn't matter that you think this is worse than it was - it just is.

We need to teach kids from like kindergarten how to use AI in their lives - not for specific tasks, but as a tool that is omnipresent in their lives.

I'm a millennial, I had my math teacher give me the "you won't have a calculator in your pocket" speech - but I do tho, 100% of the time, he couldn't have been more mistaken if he tried.

Why are so many millenials acting like my math teacher??



Your math teacher was wrong when he said, "You won't have a calculator" but he wasn't wrong when he implied "You need to learn this."

If children are allowed to use AI as an omnipresent tool, what do you believe students should learn? Lots and LOTS of people would be perfectly happy to outsource all of their thinking to AI as soon as it's possible to do so.
