ChatGPT and Gemini offer enormous consumer value for free.
- pesus 5mo agoWhat value do they get that both couldn't be done before and outweighs the costs?
- charcircuit 5mo agoPersonalized learning. Some people on the US were paying over six figures to be educated and now they can do it at a much better quality for free.
- brianwawok 5mo agoCollege was never about learning it was about signaling. I get two resumes on my desk, one went to Harvard, one learned about stuff on ChatGPT. Which has a higher likelihood of being a success?
- charcircuit 5mo agoIt defends how you want to define success, but I would lean towards ChatGPT.

- Capricorn2481 5mo agoYou would lean towards a resume that says "I learned from ChatGPT"? What does that even mean?
- charcircuit 5mo agoYou don't have to literally say that. You just work in the skills you have acquired.
- pesus 5mo agoI don't think the software that lies to you and makes things up on a regular basis is a very good teacher. Even if it was, that's not worth the cost to society vs just improving education.
- charcircuit 5mo agoTeachers make even more up than AI in my experience. I would always trust an AI over a human teacher.
- pesus 5mo agoThat's an incredibly depressing and anti-intellectual way to go through life.
- charcircuit 5mo agoI don't see it as anti-intellectual as in person learning is going to run into physical constraints of bringing together experts of individual subjects to a student. With the power of AI and the internet it is possible to bring such specialized knowledge directly to students where they are at.
- jerf 5mo agoThinking that teachers (or AIs) are always right is the anti-intellectual way to go through life. Between a teacher or an AI just going off of its training data is a close call; between a teacher and an AI doing a web search it's no contest, it's the AI.
- echoangle 5mo agoYou don’t pay for the insight, you pay for the certificate. If the AI doesn’t give you a degree, it doesn’t really help you. Even before AI, you could have learned stuff from a degree for free.
- wiseowise 5mo agoYou probably meant for "free".
- charcircuit 5mo agoI meant $0.
- wiseowise 5mo agoYou meant they use user data to train their models.
- charcircuit 5mo agoWhich costs them money to do. Not the users.
