I think there was also this Johnson and Johnson 1-shot vaccine. But somehow it was disappointing…

With my students I'm more generous, by they very rarely show your level of arrogance, so it's easier.

I'm not in the business of prophecy. At the moment it looks like LLMs are damaging our students' skills and that we as teachers have lost parts of our repertoire to help students develop these skills. That's what the original post was about.

That's the dilemma, that people with a basic (or really non-existent) understanding believe they do have an understanding.

There's a mistake in the ship of fools. What is translated as "shipmaster" in the quote actually stands for the people, not the expert as you later say.

I continue to be baffled by your assumption that we are all a bunch of idiots who never reflect on what we are doing and never try things out.

That's the calculator-in-elementary school, btw. Kids could copy the symbols and put the correct numbers after addition exercises but they don't learn how to add.

Great quote from the very end:

"Searle took it as axiomatic that the occupant of the Chinese Room could neither read nor write Chinese; … And what I and many of my colleagues worry is that we are allowing our students to build custom Chinese Rooms for themselves, one assignment at a time."

It's not at all a German and European problem. It's world-wide, and colleagues from other parts of the world were actually ringing the alarm bells before us. Here's an article by someone from NYU detailing exactly what I was talking about: www.chronicle.com/article/is-a...
Opinion | Is AI Enhancing Education or Replacing It?
Technology should facilitate learning, not substitute for it.

The invention of book printing had no ramifications for the _method_ of teaching philosophy/history while LLMs have, as I've tried to show in my conversation with Auke.

Your original calculator example was much better, unfortunately it showed the opposite of what you thought it did.
