Stuff like this is sincere but hopelessly naive. It's kind of sad that the people who invented all this stuff really loved school, and now the most disruptive part of their technology so far has been ruining school.

A lot of them are from Russia/Europe/China, at least the most successful implementers. My guess is that at least Russia/China will continue with the traditional education while watching with glee that the West is dumbing itself down even further.

  By what means will -they- avoid hitting the same issues? Neither Russia nor China have magic detectors for is-this-essay-written-by-AI either.

    Well China has already shown some legislative teeth in these matters. IIRC they put a hard limit on the amount of time minors can play videogames and use TikTok (Douyin). Banning AI for minors is also something I could see them doing.

> It's kind of sad that the people who invented all this stuff really loved school Really? I didn't invent ChatGPT or anything like that, but I work in tech, I love science, maths, and learning in general, but I hated school. I found school to make the most interesting things boring. I felt it was all about following a line and writing too many pages of stuff. Maybe I am wrong, but it is certainly how I felt back then, and I am sure many people at OpenAI felt this way. The school system is not great for atypical profiles, and most of the geniuses who are able to come up with revolutionary ideas are atypical. Note that I don't mean that if you are atypical and/or hate school then you are a genius, or that geniuses in general hate school, but I am convinced that among well educated people, geniuses are more likely to hate school.
