I already struggle with some intellectual laziness after subscribing to GPT4, which is fairly out of character for me. Why should I expend the mental energy on something when it can do the task for me? Now imagine GPT5, 6, and so on.
People who "learn" are going to become a rarity.

I feel for you, but I would humbly suggest trying to get to the root of this. In all sincerity, therapy is good for this sort of thing. I have similar desires, but I have come to understand them as quite dysfunctional, and not something that should be catered to by the system around me. Because the real/natural world doesn't work that way. it's very ill-adapted to real life learning. Only in a constructed and false e…
This is a nonsensical statement produced by a chat bot. There are no invalid ways of learning.
I mean, we're talking "learning". Even negative reinforcement and beatings are a way that was a "learning style" at one point, that ppl defended as "worked for me". "Every way of learning is fine" is not a sensible way to enter the conversation about education
> and never coughs up answers. I have fought this my whole life, and only in my adulthood, and self guided learning, have I found the freedom to accept it: I learn better from being given the answer and working backwards. (Even literally reading textbooks “backwards”) I hope there’s more nuance to this than this quote suggests, because I shudder to imagine a student experiencing what I did but now with a tireless une…
Your position is inherently incorrect and a conflation of what you think is being done.
Being provided the answer might be a decent method to learning X concept. But the answer is ALWAYS downwind of the techniques, which you are actually being taught every step of the way, in every single teaching system. If you learned+mastered the technique or concept, getting to the answer is just proving it with those things, and mostly mechanical while you write down the steps.
How would you solve a problem that no one has ever touched before, and that no one knows the answer to? Where are you going to be provided the answer?
Glad to hear about an AI made just to help you learn things that can be a 100% positive tool for kids. I'm sort of interested in using it myself to try and learn some maths subjects

I think the people who automatically had a negative view of AI didn't think it through, when ChatGPT came out in Nov 2022, the realization was that something like this tutor friendly AI would be on the horizon. Personally, I am looking forward to AI enabled healthcare, my sister has been dealing with health problems and she has to wait up to a month between appointments. At the very least AI can be used to speed up a…
I’m pretty sure paperwork isn’t the reason your sister is waiting months between appointments.

> At the very least AI can be used to speed up all the paperwork that doctors have to complete. How much do you know about the healthcare/medical system? Where specifically in the process would AI be used to speed up paperwork?
Growing up, my family friend who is a trauma surgeon always told me she hated all the paperwork she had to do.

I'd be happier to accept this if you'd explain why it's dysfunctional.

I worked with my uncles law firm and know that the process for getting medical records is a huge pain. Back then I never understood why there couldn't be some better system for getting medical records between authorized parties. Growing up, my family friend who is a trauma surgeon always told me she hated all the paperwork she had to do.
