I’ve been working with so many students who turn to it as a first resort for everything. The second a problem stumps them, it’s AI. The first source for research is AI.

It’s not even about the tech, there’s just something about not wanting to learn that deeply upsets me. It’s not really something I can understand. There is no reason to avoid getting better at writing.

yep. watching kids squander their one chance at university education over their reliance on this shit is depressing as fuck.

one chance at university education

i mean i dropped out, uh, 5 maybe 6 times so one chance may be overselling it

[-] 9point6@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

I think it's more that these days it's pretty expensive to go to university in a lot of countries. So many of the people who go and don't get anything out of it, are going to have increasingly limited chances to go at it again

Of course that's just policy, they have free university education in Scotland, so it doesn't have to be that way

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

That's true. Not everyone can conveniently take a year off dead for tax purposes the way I did

i love when people point out the massive debt (it's almost up to 8 figures now with interest) i had to take on and will never be able to pay off and the multiple jobs i had to work during college all while having my body disassembled and reassembled as "privilege"

what did you trade for your education and survival in your 20s?

[-] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

military service. wish I had more options, made better choices, or had just run away to the edges of the earth and forgotten the species sometime.

oh and I still had loan debt.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

hey you haven't answered me yet. i really want to know how i was privileged compared to you

[-] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world -1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

hey, not all of us spend all fucking day on fucking lemmy.

oh and hey, not in any way obligated to explain jack shit to you. what do you need, a fuckng map drawn in crayon?

i mean i dropped out, uh, 5 maybe 6 times so one chance may be overselling it

in fact, get fucked with that attitude, I've said all I fucking need to. I'm not going to think for you. but nice bragging about all the healthcare you got, that's fuckin sweet privilege too

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

ah, so you were willing to trade other people's lives for your education. got it. nothing of your own. nice privilege. thank you for your service!

[-] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

you should probably go back to school again, I can see round 7 might be needed for someone with that kind of comprehension.

thank you for your service!

get fucked

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

needed for someone with that kind of comprehension.

you're the one who thinks dying is a privilege, but y'know. you decided to kill people for benefits. anyways, Thank you for your service!

[-] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

try not to flunk out of uni on your way to the next time you repeat that clever retort kiddo.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

flunk out of uni? oh gee wow. you decided to it was worth trading other people's lives (and you knew they were going to be brown) for your benefits, remember? you displayed your values and thus your value
