Relentless advancement to produce new gen of blob-no-thoughts seppos

I asked Wendy if I could read the paper she turned in, and when I opened the document, I was surprised to see the topic: critical pedagogy, the philosophy of education pioneered by Paulo Freire. The philosophy examines the influence of social and political forces on learning and classroom dynamics. Her opening line: “To what extent is schooling hindering students’ cognitive ability to think critically?” Later, I asked Wendy if she recognized the irony in using AI to write not just a paper on critical pedagogy but one that argues learning is what “makes us truly human.” She wasn’t sure what to make of the question. “I use AI a lot. Like, every day,” she said. “And I do believe it could take away that critical-thinking part. But it’s just — now that we rely on it, we can’t really imagine living without it.”

That's why I tend to see this as a problem with how our system handles education. Either the tests are assignments are in fact menial or the professors aren't communicating their importance.

i agree it's clearly a symptom of a greater problem. education as a commodity & visa to the corporate world rather than being something beautiful and fundamental that instils a love of learning and knowledge. the rot has been there in the academy (and high school, etc.) for decades or longer this stuff just reveals it.
