- KTallguy 2y agoI don’t know if I agree that phones are the only culprit, but I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed your article. Teaching is an incredibly hard job. Lately I worry about all the AI written content that appears when doing a simple web search. I’ll find an article that seems relevant, but after spending 30 seconds or so unwrapping the prose, I find absolutely nothing of value. If I was younger and every time I tried to read something longer than a tweet I got nothing out of it, I would likely get frustrated. Maybe that’s why it’s easier to default to gifs and memes.
