Clearly you didn't learn the meaning of "barbaric". Memorization and mastery of vocabulary and multiplication factors are a base towards more advanced learning

If you think that's all that's taught in a rote-memorization-and-regurgitation manner, then it's possible your experiences at school were wildly atypical...

One can simultaneously agree that there's probably too much rote memorization in school while also thinking that some basic level of math skills including simple multiplication without a calculator, vocabulary, certain historical/scientific/civics/etc. facts, ability to at least print, etc. are important.

  Learning about these things allows you to think differently and transform incoming information in more novel and well-adapted ways. You can't ask ChatGPT about things you don't know to ask about, and when you are able to use this tech on the fly through neural chip AR interfaces, everything is going to be totally fucked anyway and human relationships will look nothing like they do now.

    Yeah its coming, improvements in these language models coupled with convincing AR will change the world. A full conversation with a computer that might be as engaging as with a human

      Ha, well I totally agree, this is a coming zeitgeist and at my company this is exactly what we are building. A WebXR-enabled playground for neural models and people to coexist, collaborate and form relationships. Virtual embodied AI who can take the same actions as players. My goal is to make them indifferentiable to the casual eye, and to create a working economy and camaraderie between AI and players. AGI might be a long way off, but we can already build increasingly fun experiences today as the cost of compute trends to zero.
