“One of the things that really surprises me consistently is how scared our students are of using it,” Anthony said of large language models (LLMs). The fear isn’t just over typical academic issues like cheating, he told Fortune, but about losing their critical thinking skills to the machine — they’re “scared full stop.”

“There’s something about AI where people, I think, worry that they’ll lose their humanity if they lean too much into it,” Anthony explained.

The kids are alright.

In many ways, you need much more critical thinking to use AI. Cause it sure as fuck is fallible and it's not always easy to spot.

If you're going to use an LLM at all (and I recommend strongly against), only use it in fields where you have relatively high expertise.

But of course if you have that relatively high expertise ... you probably don't need it.

They’re a great way to teach information hygiene.

I see a lot of kids locked into their phones. It looks like a classical addiction at this point - causing problems and negative emotions but unable to stop. Glad to hear at least that they know.

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
