@AmenZwa@mathstodon.xyz Our generation isn't that incapable to a point where we basically just go to "AI" with our problems as if it's God or something. it's just the case that AI is influencing the job market, especially at entry level jobs, certain industries are already highly competitive and now you have "AI". At least this students are deciding to change instead of drop; personally, the only real value I see for college is that it's easier to secure an internship as a student.

@Mr0@privacysafe.social Don’t read too much into this old geezer’s rants again AI, mate. Each generation has many bad apples, and much fewer good ones. And it is those few good ones that propel their generation forward. I was bemoaning—by being overly sarcastic—about what I hear from my old friends who are now college professors and my son who is now a college student: the majority of college students, no matter their field of study, are relying on AI, to an excessive amount of. My son works as a student researcher, as many kids do. He writes papers for publication in peer-reviewed journals, again as many kids his age do. But he is being advised by his professors to “tone down” his grammar and diction in the drafts, because many reviewers now hold the opinion that only those students who use LLMs write grammatical text!🤦‍♂️ Thankfully, these journals do not accept LLM-generated papers, at present. Let us see how long that lasts.
