I would have used it because the class requirements are ridiculous. I forget if these are the correct numbers but to get through my degree you had to average 17 credits per semester. 15 is max full time and you had to get permission to take more than that. Half the people in my course were taking 5 years. I have thermodynamics and calc 2 homework, ai could write my sociology or art history paper.

You don’t have to graduate in 4 years. There’s a reason they were taking 5 years. So they didn’t burn themselves out. You already failed the first lesson of adulting.

I and many people have to graduate in 4 years because that's how long scholarships last.

I see skipping cultural literacy to focus on “real” subjects has paid off nicely for you

Yes, I'm an engineer. My focus on the subjects I've needed has paid off immensely.

I find it funny that everyone is just going ad hominem instead of continuing the actual discussion of the shortcomings of the current education system.

"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.
