    They’re about to turn AI into a scapegoat for why kids are stupid and blame everything on it, as if before AI our education system was perfect.

      You don’t need to pretend education was perfect before in order to realise that it’s getting worse and try to reverse the trend.

      You also don’t need to pretend it was perfect before in order to see that the proliferation of LLM’s is harming education.

      “Kids are dumb cuz AI” is literally the new “kids are dumb cuz phones”

    The article is well-written. I wonder how many employees will still be needed in 10+ years from now.

    In case you haven’t heard about it, the labor market is regulated by supply and demand. That means, if there’s less demand, but supply stays equal, wages decline. That’s what people experience for the last decades. If this trend continues, demand for human labor might become very weak. That’s why people for one can no longer rely only on the incomes through the labor (wages), but need good safety nets (Universal Basic Income, UBI).

    And also, demand for labor is another way of saying “how much are humans needed to perform tasks”. What if humans aren’t needed? Will people be ok with that?
