The education at Stanford is no better than most colleges. The real value of a Stanford education is who you meet while going to school there, many of them will go on to found startups. Sand Hill Road venture capitalists are located literally across the street from Stanford!

Our modern school system was initially designed to train good little workers for boring, repetitive assembly line work. That's why they emphasis rote memorization instead of creativity. Art classes may be an exception to that rule, that's why art teachers are looked down on by the rest of the faculty members.

I asked the Google AI the same question 3 times, and got three completely different answers. I deduced that AI couldn't find the answer, so it just made up a plausible answer all three times. I asked it for the Manufacturer ID of a company that had not yet been assigned a Manufacturer ID, so it gave me the Manufacturer ID of three other companies... all equally valid answers, all 100% incorrect.

Comment Biggest risk? (Score 2) 37

The biggest risk is students never learning how to research and create original material themselves. Instead they are all being taught to cheat and get AI to do there homework for them. The real purpose of homework is to help students build up a tolerance for the boring, tedious, time-consuming effort that is necessary to produce good output. Kids raised on AI are all going to be like severe ADHD sufferers, avoiding work because it's too hard!

I love computer games. I have XPlane 12 and many scenery packs. I rank well on Elite:Dangerous. From the sounds of it, the FAA would see me as over-qualified. In reality? There's no way in hell I'd be taking those kinds of risks with real lives. There's a huge difference between having good reflexes and a good eye, versus having the complex 4D spacetime relationship mental models needed for robust air traffic control.
