Seeing my own kids (teens) go through some of this, I'm becoming slightly less pessimistic as it all shakes out. Among their peer groups there does seem to be an opinion forming that sure, anyone can just ask ChatGPT for quick answers on assignments, but actually knowing stuff is a bit of a "flex" that's respected.
- neutronicus 4mo agoTeens also fucking hate AI, on a cultural-ideological level.
- bdangubic 4mo agoI think they may hate what it may be doing to their future outlooks but they use it as much as they do social media
- neutronicus 4mo agoYeah, that's exactly why I added the second clause. Nevertheless. The peer pressure is to be anti-AI.

- datakan 4mo ago300 years ago when I was in high school I had a friend choose to go the HVAC trade school route instead of college. He chose the hardest school in the country where they did most things manually so that students understood how things work. It removed the "magic" some tools provide. I was pretty impressed he was wise enough to do that. He's exceptional at his job by the way. I think we have a tendency to think the worst of your people. They frequently surprise me though.
