It upsets me that collaboration, and now the use of AI is considered “cheating”. By calling it cheating they are conditioning people to be stupid. You are supposed to work with others and it’s necessary. The people that learn to work with others are way more successful.
But in school teachers are focused on cramming info into kids heads instead of teaching them how to self learn. It’s like “give a kid a fish feed him for a day”. If you teach kids how to self learn then give them fun projects, they will naturally collaborate, use ai, and be totally prepared for life!
They would be much better off if they spent time studying real world problems and using ai to make kid level solutions in my opinion.
- gavmor 2y agoI feel very strongly that collaboration is perversely demonized, and that language models are used to delay or even defer collaboration. I can cite junior devs who use ChatGPT instead of asking for a pair, and I have had to very, extremely emphatically reassure them that I was available—and enthusiastically so! This kind of shyness is historically typical of juniors, but I see the use of language models as an obstacle to their development.
