They're putting AI in children's school laptops? Not only teaching them to think less, but letting a corporation directly influence them?
They are Chromebooks. A gigantic corporation is already influencing them?
There's a big difference between "hey kids, use this machine, it has Internet access and Brand products" and "hey kids, ask me anything you'd like, and I'll give you the Brand approved answer."
Kids have two options. Out dated propaganda, or propaganda that might hallucinate a few key details.
Well obviously the propaganda I grew up with is better and clearly didn't affect me at all..
Its working exactly as intended.
