On one hand AI is absolutely disastrous as many cognitively offload onto LLMs reducing the onus to ever think. On the other hand it’s worth addressing the fact that the education system wasn’t working well to begin with and AI is just accelerating its downfall.

The current education system is built mostly as daycare and also to build kids into being obedient workers with maybe some minor reforms to actually teach some useful information.

Remove AI from the equation students are still mostly not engaging with the content and cheat or circumvent the system in other ways to avoid learning because the system isn’t built to make you want to learn.

Im saying this as someone who took payment to do other people’s work but also someone who flunked out in later years because of stress from never ending bullshit memorising exercises that never actually taught me why or how anything existed. Memorising equations for maths and physics sucked just like memorising quotes for 10 different potential English essays. 99% of my success was driven by my teachers predicting the exams questions and telling us to focus on that content
