The summer is over, schools are back, and the data is in: ChatGPT is mainly a tool for cheating on homework.::ChatGPT traffic dropped when summer began and schools closed. Now students are back, and they’re using the AI tool again more.

    Egh Moody adults are ignorant to how it works, how to prompt well, and are scared of using it at work.

    Kids are going to gobble that shit up. It’s being used for cheating until the kids get into the workforce.

      If anything, people who like chatGPT are the ones ignorant of how it works (spoiler: it doesn’t).

      And kids with their understanding of technology being limited to youtube and tiktok have no clue about what an AI is. They see it, like most people, as a magic black box that is incredibly smart. Apart from being a black box, none of that is true.

      Yeah, shitty article. AI is the same as calculators. So what! Kids don’t have to waste mental cycles with your tedious and borderline sadistic amounts of homework. Go fly a kite.
