I already see it in my students. They don't want to "learn" anything, because they can just ask ChatGPT to tell them whatever they want to know.


I'm so sorry, Coventina. It was obvious as soon as ChatGPT was released that it was going to be disastrous for education. There's no way Sam Altman of OpenAI wasn't aware of that, too, but he was fine with all those kids cheating because his bragging about how fast his free cheating tool was adopted got him more attention and drew in more investors.

As of last year, students were still the largest single group of ChatGPT users, and most probably use the free version. OpenAI keeps losing billions, so in the very near future those kids will start getting lots of ads with their free cheating tool.

Damn the AI bros...
