AI will make our children stupid

I hate that people think this.

AI is a superfast internet search.

Imagine if you had that growing up. Instant access to any information with a professorial level of teaching and you could ask any question to clear up any confusion?

Our kids are going to be smarter than we could even imagine because getting access to any information they can imagine is instant taught by a perfect tutor.

There's value in the struggle, learning what questions to ask, handling the questions following a question, articulating what it is that you want to know, learning how to have an exchange of information with another human being, and being civil about it. If you honestly think that replacing this growth with a paywalled, corporate chatbot that has been known to convince people to kill themselves will be a boon for society, I'm not sure what to tell you.

It's not search.

When I (re)search a certain topic, I curate a list of books, I read the table of contents, I skim the pages, I compare the texts.

When I ask the AI about something, I get an answer.
