The AI industry has promised to “disturb” large parts of society, and you don't need to look further than the American education system to see how it is done. Education was “disturbed”, well. In fact, the disturbance is so wide and so shiny that it is not clear that we will have a functional company again.
The most unhappy and pathetic snapshot of current chaos which is deployed on higher education is a Recent history of New York magazine This has revealed the depths to which AI has already added an entire generation of students intellectually. The story, which involves interviews with a multitude of undergraduate students, is full of anecdotes like the one that involves the “Roy” Chungin Lee, a transfer to the University of Columbia which used Chatgpt to write the personal test which made it cross the door:
When he started in Columbia in the second year last September, he was not worried about the academics or his GPA. “Most missions in college are not relevant,” he told me. “They are piratable by AI, and I simply had no interest in making them.” While other new students were concerned about the rigorous basic program of the university, described by school as “intellectually vast” and “personally transformer”, Lee used AI to cross a minimum of effort. When I asked him why he had so much trouble going to an Ivy League University to unload all the learning of a robot, he said: “It is the best place to meet your co-founder and your wife.”
The cynical vision of the Educational System of America – that it is simply a means by which privileged CODs can establish the right connections, build “share capital” and be fucked – is obviously fully exposed here. If education concerns nothing to learn and is only a game for the wealthy, why not fake this game as quickly, effectively and cynically as possible? The AI capitalizes on this cynical vision of the world, operating the holder of sight and making them more stupid while benefiting from them.
When you think of the current assault on the education system, it is easy to forget how fast it happens. One more recent story From 404, the media show that the American education system has been largely caught by the trunk of cheating that the AI industry would inspire. After having accumulated thousands of pages of school district documents via foia requests from all over the country, Jason Koebler of 404 noted that Chatgpt had “become one of the greatest difficulties of American education”. Koebler's reports note that, in the first days of the AI flood, school districts were courted by “pro -i consultants” who were known to make presentations which “largely encourage teachers to use generator in their classes”. For example, Koebler writes that the Louisiana Ministry of Education sent it …
… a presentation he said that she consulted called “Chatgpt and AI in education», Made by Holly Clark, the author of The infused class of AIKen Shelton, the author of IA promises and perils in educationAnd Matt Miller, the author of AI for educators. The presentation includes slides that say that the AI ”amounts to giving a brain to a computer so that it can learn and make decisions in itself”, note that “it is time to rethink the” plagiarism “and” cheating “”, in addition to a graphic of the way students can use AI to help them write tests, “20 ways to use chatgpt in the class” and “Warning: To return to testing tests – only in class – can injure learners in difficulty and do not prepare our children for their future. »»
In other words, AI acolytes seemed to anticipate that technology would effectively ruin test tests and tests, and wanted to run it to present ruin as a simple “transformation” – a new way of doing things – instead of a destructive force that would devastate education.
This new way of doing things seems to be corrosive not only for students but also for teachers. Koebler's investigation shows that AI lobbyists have courted the schools by calling on instructors, showing them that Chatgpt would make programs and assignments, much easier. Now teachers also seem to take the easy solution, as A recent story of the New York Times Shows that university professors have used chatbots to create their course plans, just as their students use them to finish this lesson.
The result of all this is so obvious that it should not really repeat itself, but I suppose that will do it anyway: all those who use AI will become more stupid exponentially, and the more they get, the more they will have to use AI to be able to do things they were previously able to do with their mind. The “AS-SERCE” model based on the subscribers of the technological industry is obviously in full display here, except that the subscription will be intellectual capacity. The more you subscribe, the less “organic” capacity. Finally, companies will be able to kill AI directly in your brain with the type of neuro-implants peddled by Neuralink and Apple. Until then, of course, there will be no need for a school, because we will all be part of the Borg collective.
