I'm wondering why is this being published in the first place. It's not an interesting or illuminating perspective, it's a pretentious student telling us nothing new.
I gave no opinions on AI, yet I do think it's very much a problem. This article presents neither good ideas to tackle it, nor an insightful perspective on the problem.
- igor47 1y agoThe point of publishing it seems to me to be "kids in classrooms also think this is a problem". The subject matter is often talked about in the upper echelons and among adults, it's good to see a kid's prospective. It's equivalent to an essay by a kid saying they also struggle with the effects of social media -- it creates a broader consensus environment, helping to build buy in for a shared paradigm
- textadventure 1y agoRight, except what I'm saying is that the perspective of a this A+ kind of student is off-putting and not contributing to the discussion in any meaningful way. What I'm saying is precisely that the take of a more genuine, less pretentious kid, would be far more insightful. It's a weak editorial choice.
- intended 1y agoThis does feel like a personal preference has been inflamed here, and is overshadowing your interpretation of the message. There will be interviews done with non A+ students.

- polotics 1y agocan you highlight the pretentious bits i totally missed them
- flappyeagle 1y agoIt’s a good student writing the piece, which is somehow fundamentally pretentious
- polotics 1y agook, essentialism much?
- flappyeagle 1y agoYou seem to be projecting some issues onto this student from your own childhood experience. Maybe look into that
