That is not the question. The question is whether not handing them said machine is worse.

Indeed. But too many idiots do not understand the difference between correlation and causation, because they can only think in correlations. For example, the typical MAGA is "keyword-trigger only". They see a specific keyword and then see the whole cloud of correlated things as also in there. Causation? They do not even understand the concept, much less being able to use it.

"Just"

It's super hard to redo our constitution. There's only two ways, one is with fire and the other requires consensus.

The vast majority of people in the US don't know shit.

Let's not forget how many nuns were/presumably still are

A) lesbians kicked out of society
B) young women with no prospects who found themselves working in a Vatican-owned brothel euphemistically called a convent
C) both of the above

This is of course nonsense.

You will never be free from oversight so long as you are using money. Nor should you be.

You seem to be illiterate.

I'm not understanding why you thought that was a reasonable reply to my comment.

Until they are infallible, yes.

Life is chock-full of "should haves", alas. Instead of each new project being better than the ones before, many people and organizations seem to think they know everything when they should have learned from others. I'm quite sure someone else had figured this out already.

If they have access to social media they might find out that the Pope protected a sex pest before he even became pope. I believe that's actually a requirement, though...

I'm not reading the code rn but I would assume the volume is mandated. It's got to be over a certain level to be considered audible to people with hearing disabilities. We had one on our RV as it used to be a bus, I disabled it. I will probably put it on a switch at some point though

If you are really smart, yes. You will understand that. Most of my students limit LLM use, also because they have to pass an exam without. But less smart ones? They will just become dependent and learn nothing.

Plato was wrong on this one. He was not wrong to generally be skeptical of tools. A tool needs to prove its adequacy and usefulness before it sees general deployment. LLMs have not done that in the education space.

There is evidence right in the story. I guess you have terminal AI brain-rot.

This is exactly what any smart educator expected and the smarter students do too. A lot of mine are not using AI or using it only very carefully.

What we will increasingly see is a large divide between good and bad students. Not a surprise at all.

On one hand you're right, on the other hand, unmet need is unsustainable
