unfortunately this article is paywalled but its an excellent read so far. i attached some of my favorite and while funny, incredibly harrowing, moments of this piece. highly highly recommended to read
this is a pretty common one, but in my grad program there were people using AI to write papers/homework assignments/projects and then patting themselves on the back like they found some kind of life hack. they all graduated and have decent jobs but man was that a bleak omen of what education is becoming.
I am a high school Spanish teacher in Oklahoma and kids here have shocked me with the ways they try to use AI for assignments I give them. In several cases I have caught them because they can’t read what they submit to me and so don’t know to delete the sentence that says something to the effect of “This summary meets the requirements of the prompt, I hope it is helpful to you!”
Teachers give insight on what’s it been like to work with students who insist on using AI for their work.
seriously when did everyone get so mean. everywhere i look people are being mean, whether its being racist, homophobic, fatphobic, or catty and snarky. its especially bad on tiktok and instagram like do people not have empathy anymore??
im getting older and things are happening in my life that have shifted my priorities, and because of that i feel more detached from some of the friends that have been the closest to me for years on end. i dont have a problem with any of them specifically, i think this is just the natural progression of things. i had trouble confronting this at first, but accepting that growth also comes with certain sacrifices or loss is just a part of the process.
i, like anyone else now, am incredibly attached to the little computer in my back pocket. however i can feel my mental health decreasing whenever i wake up and instantly go on instagram so i’ve begun scrolling on pinterest instead. its still not a great habit but id rather be barraged by cool pictures than the toxins of instagram reels
