I think the most tragic aspect of deploying "AI" in teaching and learning situations is how much it pushes people into a situation of learned helplessness. This constant feeling of not knowing how to do a thing of being incapable of actually doing work on one's tasks is mentally so harmful. How do people under those conditions gain confidence in their abilities? Like ever?

@tante I mean, you probably know this already, but… I don't think they're supposed to.

@tante @buherator reminds me a bit of GPS navigators TBH

@raptor @tante I can confidently get lost with those too thank you very much!

@tante

"I used AI to....", is nothing more than, "Listen I'm not an asshole but....", for the 21st Century.

OK Boomer.

They said the same thing about writing things down.

@fu In your experience, what's it like being totally full of shit?

@pixplz @fu He's a "libertarian", i. e. intellectually helpless. Don't bother.

@tante that is intentional!

• Because the #TechBros want #illiterate "#Consoomers" and hate confident people.

That's why they are transmisogynist and racist POSes: They don't accept or even tolerate people who are more intelligent, more confident or just flatout better than them!

• And a #Broligarchy needs to make themselves look like "wizards" to justify their weaponization of #tech, #sexism and #patriarchy as pillars for their thrones.

They don't want people to be able to #DIY or #repair or have any #knowledge, but to take the #Enshittification as "law of nature" and being dependant on an "Oracle" as a fact of life.

• They fear people who are able to evidence that "a different world is possible" and that's why they push for #CyberFacism and #PoliceState hard, wanting to kill #SolarPunk as they want to rule a #CyberPunk #dystopia that is closer to the world of #GString than #Cyberpunk2077!

@tante So what's odd is that there appears to be evidence that they think this *is* working on one's tasks. They are supremely confident that what they produce is sufficient.... And to a large extent they are not wrong about that. What's slightly more worrying is when they discover that's not enough. And you'd think then they would lose confidence right? Wrong! That's when they seek out a better tool. It's a remarkably interesting phenomenon.

@pixplz I mean its what Socrates thought newlearningonline.com/literaci…
