I also use it in college a lot for outlining assignments/research papers because my working memory is shot from ADHD

I think that’s a little dramatic. Studies have shown that if you use it excessively you can experience deskilling, but that’s not applicable to people like me

U are correct. The pros do not outway the cons and there’s no real way to regulate it. And they won’t. And even for useful purposes it’s extremely wasteful. It is black and white and we don’t need it as a society.

I wish it was. The point of most school curriculum is not for you to learn why the curtain in a book is blue, it’s to teach you how to critically think. If AI is doing all the thinking for you, your brain will never form those neural connections and essentially becomes mush. There is a major connection between low formation of new neural connections and Alzheimer’s. It’s why elderly people are encouraged to do word crosses, sudoku, etc. to stimulate their brains.

They’re slamming you bc ur right. Technology is the reason children and teens are less intelligent than before and AI is already a big part of it.

Yup. It started with iPad kids, and it’s evolved into this. If you aren’t forced to learn how to learn, especially at a very young age, and technology does all the thinking for you, you are genuinely doomed for the rest of your life. You can never get those formative years back, your brain will never absorb information the way it does in early childhood through teen years. People need to be able to problem solve without any external help.

I don’t just have adhd though, I have a complex learning disability confirmed with IQ testing. It’s literally not possible for me to coherently organize my thoughts in a way that is easy to follow.

Like my brain can’t hold onto multiple pieces of information at the same time, so it’s incredibly difficult to organize what I’m trying to convey properly If it was as easy as writing it on paper, i would have done that forever ago

You know, they had the same panic when calculators became popularized in schools in the 70’s. They were saying all the same stuff. And everyone turned out fine. Not to say that it’s the same thing, but just a thought. Your fears might be exaggerated

I do understand that reasoning, but I’m basing this off of the teachers quitting en masse for a plethora of reasons, but one main one is AI and students’ unwillingness to learn anything. At least with calculators, you have to think about the formula and which numbers you need to input to get your answer. Where’s the thought in opening your phone and typing “write me an essay on this book”, then copying and pasting?

But the chat bot typing it onto a screen in the same format is….different? I’ve asked it to generate essay outlines before. It’s the same as someone would normally. There are essay outline worksheets that you can use that highschool students are given when learning to write essays.

And to answer ur question, yeah it’s way different. I type in all my ideas and points I want to make and ask it how best to organize and structure that content. Way way way different

I also remember the leftover calculator panic when I was in school, and it was mostly about “you won’t have a calculator in your pocket”. We obviously have access to just about any tool you can think of in our phones now. And still, the point of math was never to learn how to calculate the missing angle. It was about forcing kids to learn to do something new on their own, to form those neural pathways.

I have a learning disability and adhd. So wtf do you mean. Many people with learning disabilities used resources like the one I gave you before AI. People with disabilities have been getting degrees before AI. Your school provides a free writing center to help with these things

as someone who has ADHD, outlining using something that does it for you with no requirement to think is going to set you back.
