At least people aren’t parroting that tired old, ‘This exact thing must already exist in the training data’ argument which has been fallacious from the start but is wearing excessively thin since new models use almost exclusively synthetic training data to begin with.
I think it’s worth remembering that most of humanity hasn’t been involved in anything resembling meaningful productive work for many decades.
From this, we can conclude that the general state of our society, including education, will not be impacted by the introduction of AI, it already sucks.
We didn’t ‘start failing our children’ in 2027, we started failing them in 1927, and more likely we have never NOT failed to educate people in how to not suck.
I wish more people of good conscience would take changes and work towards applying them meaningfully instead of letting the absolute worst people take maximum advantage of whatever advantage could be had of whatever change is coming.
