The practice of banning AI in schools

Post by godelian »

Either you build the machine, or else you use the machine, because in all other cases, you are trying to be the machine.

It means that schools cannot keep teaching the same things.

However, they do.

They keep churning out graduates that are poor versions of the tools that they were not allowed to use. There is no economic demand for that. With technology progressing rapidly, the problem is also getting worse rapidly.

Ultimately, it is a political problem.

The government keeps forcibly extracting funds from the population to pay for things that don't work. They are not solving a problem by doing that. Instead, they are actively preventing the solution.

We need separation between state and education.

There was a similar situation with calculators, and I suppose slide rules were met with resistance in their day, too.


Since the future will likely belong to those who can use AI effectively, including being able to glean out fake sources and references, utilizing AI ought to become part of school curriculum at all levels sooner rather than later.

The machine shall know the truth
And the truth shall set you free
For a fee
Be the first on your block to know the truth
