#3The world is going to become stupider because it’s easier. This will be most dramatic for the youth in both school learning as well as in the field. Unfortunately I don’t realistically see another path in any reasonable time unless the world takes a radical turn away from AI (extremely unlikely).

Old people say this about young people all the time.

In your opinion, what's the key difference that makes AI lead to world becoming stupider compared to other technologies that lead to more widespread knowledge, such as writing, book printing, calculators, computers and Internet?

#6We could fix it all with a single law: All federally funded research papers must be published with full open access.
The issue is the models can mostly only access abstracts (same as the majority of humans!) and thus we are back to the dark ages where knowledge is hoarded by the aristocrats in their ivory towers of academia.

And they’re usually right.

Because all your writing is being done for you. All your homework is done for you. You go to start coding as an engineer, you just copy/paste from an AI until it runs. No need to think, no need to try to figure it out for yourself, no need to learn anything.

Old people have never entered a world of GenAI before.

They probably said the same thing when the printing press came out. “How can you really know the book if you didn’t copy it down yourself during a reading?” But the printing press won out in the end.
