The way the world is adjusting to AI is quite pathetic

AI is amazing. AI has incredible potential. Unfortunately, people are dumb as bricks and will never learn to use it properly. Even the greatest leaders in AI are idiots. Please let me make my case.

Leaders in AI just don’t understand even the basics of **human nature**.

AI can POTENTIALLY replace school entirely and help student directed learning. It’s an amazing potential.

The problem is that isn’t actually what happens.

People are lazy. People are stupid. Instead of using AI properly, they use it to screw things up. My favourite YouTube channel is now using AI to make their visuals now and they don’t even bother to do it properly. They tried to make it visualise a knock on the door and it came off as a rustle and slap. They just left it at that. They tried to make alien mantis people and the stupid thing is ripped muscle everywhere because AI only got properly trained on the bodydismorphic internet.

Creativity.

Nick Cave calls AI The Soul Eater. By that what he’s saying is that AI destroys the human spirit of creation. Tell me why AI companies are obsessed on killing human creativity rather than augmentation? That’s because they don’t understand human nature, so it’s easier to duplicate what humans do that to boost humanity, because we just don’t understand ourselves well, and especially the kind of tech bros building AI SLOP.

AI can do loads of your heavy lifting and bore, but all the news is on when AI comes out and does something that smashes human creativity.

Here’s the reality of what’s happening in schools now. Children are getting even dumber.

I ask a student a question; they flinch to look at where their phone was. It’s unconscience. They can’t help it. That’s because *The medium is the message*, and the message of AI is that you don’t need to think. That is the message the world is teaching children with AI, and children listen to THE WORLD more than they listen to a teacher. I should know: when I want to increase my authority, I use the AI to make a decision for me and the children respect the AI more than they respect anything I say. They won’t talk back to it like they would me. You can roast me now.

I thought kids would sit down and explore the world like a book, running with every curiosity. But that’s not what happens. They use it to jerk off. They screw around. Of course they do. They’re kids. If it’s easier to consume rather than create, that’s what they do. They just follow their dopamine, so if someone can addict them to a screen, that’s exactly what wil happen. They use it to replace a girlfriend, a therapist, anything. They don’t know the basics of life. They don’t even understand the basics of AI. This is happening on a global scale. Skynet is one thing, but this is real AI doom I’m am watching in action.

I try to teach them about AI. I try to show people how it works — how the words you use are key. I try to explain the basics such as giving context and trying to output less than you input. The students I teach 1:1 are getting it, but it’s a lot of work. For the students who don’t have my guidance, they are crashing hard, losing their intelligence quickly. It’s incredible to see. Gaming that teaches instant gratification is more damaging at the moment but maybe AI can be more damaging.

It’s the way people respond to technology that is the problem.
