@OrionKidder@mas.to Yeah. Very sad for our new cohorts of students who not only use machines to lift weights, but have been told this is the only way one lifts weights. You are not only weak, but you also don't know that you are weak.
I think the students are doing whatever it takes to get grades. It is the companies that aggressively market AI for everything that have ruined their lives/careers.
I am expecting a massive intellectual regression in the coming decades.

@tchauhan@mastodon.mit.edu 100%. It's the companies, and it's also the faculty and administrations that have been duped into believing the "AI" industry's lies.

@tchauhan@mastodon.mit.edu @OrionKidder@mas.to There are a few people tryin' to spawn pockets of thinking and intelligence.
