With nanotechnology advancing, my guess is traditional education doesn't have much longer left. At some point all we'll need is a chip and we'll have access to all the worlds intelligence. Imagine being fluent in every language just by having a chip implanted
>I feel like what you're describing is the actual impotence to something like Idiocracy.
Why? Please explain
Probably because kids won’t learn to think for themselves. At this point the internet does most of the work for them anyways, but how will they learn anything when they can just have AI learn it for them?
Well, the spell-check changing impetus to impotence is a perfect example.
So basically any aid = Idiocracy?
That's not what I said at all, Captain Hyperbole.
That is what I got from what you said.
​
What did you mean then?
It's 2023.
The spell-check changed impetus to impotence - two entirely different words with two entirely different meanings because I typed 'impotus.'
You're talking about a future where based on this concept... we're going to start using AI for homework... which directly contradicts the entire point of homework and it's going to be normal in academia.
Dude, have you seen what the Chromebooks in schools are actually used for? It isn't education.
That’s certainly an opinion. I’m all for new tools that would help people save time and effort.
People in high stress jobs could certainly use the extra time such as healthcare workers.
>People in high stress jobs could certainly use the extra time such as healthcare workers.
Can you describe how you see using AI writers to save them time?
For example, using AI to help write emails to coworkers and pharmaceutical companies. It can also be used to organize lists and schedules for people who don’t know how to code.
Just some tedious tasks can be done faster and with far fewer mistakes, which is important for the healthcare industry where people often work through exhaustion.
>using AI to help write emails to coworkers and pharmaceutical companies
How does an AI write an email without knowing what I want to say? And if it's just a template, we already use them.
If you look at ChatGPT, there’s a text box for input. You can, for example, copy and paste the email you received, and ask to type a response with some general guidelines instead of writing details for the entire email.
So basically, the only fine details that are required of the writer are any specific dosages, medicine names, etc…
So you type out everything for an AI prompt... But can't type an email?
IMO copying and pasting is easier than writing out an email, but to each their own.
you need ai spell check...
After reading this I think the best step forward is to destroy the internet altogether and go back to a completely analogue universe. Huzzah!
I wonder how many AI bots post on reddit. Or even this post?
It's a very short-lived take, I'll say. The rate of progress is going to be very fast unless we become unusually careful and elaborate about any progress. Soon enough, the bots will be so good that they will be indistinguishable from human writing and detection like this will be far more difficult.

I hope... not? Hell, I'd push to return to handwriting essays before getting onboard with whatever they are calling AI these days. I feel like what you're describing is the actual impetus to something like Idiocracy.
*Case in point - spell check changed impetus to impotence.
