AI is unlikely to make people like me, or most already established professionals, lazy.
But it absolutely could affect younger people who are still learning and building fundamentals.
That raises a pretty serious question about regulating AI usage in education, and it’s surprising how little attention that discussion still gets.
- ramon156 5mo agoWe haven't even discussed as a society what might go wrong with LLMs, and we're already seeing what is going wrong. That's how hard we failed as a society.
- dotancohen 5mo agoWhat does "discuss as a society" mean? Pass regulations? Religious doctrine? Warfare?
- Capricorn2481 5mo agoMaybe not sneaking huge concessions to AI in omnibus bills would be a start. Not getting teachers in trouble when they can clearly tell their students are submitting AI essays. But we're still just letting kids use their phone in class, and our lawmakers are just learning what Facebook is. AI is going to "happen" to us, we are not serious enough to discuss it.
- dariusj18 5mo agoI think that is the role speculative fiction, like sci-fi, takes.
- dotancohen 5mo agoAs Asimov and Roddenberry envisioned it, yes. Certainly not as the drivel that carries the sci-fi label today.

- Capricorn2481 5mo agoIt doesn't really read that way, more like we should be aware of how using LLMs could affect a child in an educational environment.

- beej71 5mo agoSpeaking for myself, I feel a difference if I stop using AI for a week and just rely on regular web searches. And I have a fair amount of professional experience Also, speaking for academia, AI is basically all we talk about now when it comes to curriculum and instruction. That's not to say that we only rely on AI, or something like that, but we talk a lot about how to get basically anything done now. It's the biggest learning experience we've ever had as instructors, and I suspect we'll be trying to figure it out for a long time to come.
- coldtea 5mo ago>AI is unlikely to make people like me, or most already established professionals, lazy. Lol, that's already a lazy take.
- blitzar 5mo agomost already established professionals are lazy
- senectus1 5mo agoyeah, I've found that as i get older (especially after having kids) it gets harder to keep your edge. AI is making it easier to do things, but its making it harder to stay sharp. I feel like its akin to an addiction, you start using it and its amazing, then you need to use it more to get the same level of performance... eventually (I'm expecting) you're dependent on it just to function in your role.
