Don’t allow tech to turn you into an un-person. Refuse to let AI make things you could produce with your own brain. Develop your mental & creative faculties. Read constantly. They want you illiterate, and nothing threatens them more than a brain that is sharp and intact.

I swear I saw a scientific study that systematically measured time, error rate of using genAI vs not in a coding context and that showed cost, not benefit was observed. I cannot now find it but will continue to look. As a cog scientist, I can say, do not rely on one's perception as evidence

I'm still not convinced that any these so-called benefits of using LLMs in teaching coding outweighs the terrible environmental costs among other costs/risks genAI has exacted. I think you can teach critical thinking in computer science without burning down the earth and killing depressed children

What's not to like? /end sarcasm

gross

See ken walker’s ridiculous tech-utopian opinion piece. He argues it’s time to stop thinking about AI harms/risks & to start deploying at scale? Jaw dropping.
