ai is the laziest thing on the planet. basically all peoples already made ideas combined to give someone a easy answer. worst thing in the human race to happen. the term ai is stupid infact beyond stupid as it isnt ai either its just our ideas bottled then programmed to give the answer from our ideas. so not ai at all.I'm on the other end of the spectrum and am encouraging my son to use or experiment with Ai as all his cohort will be getting one up on him.
He says, no and never will, writes with a fountain pen and hates anything PC/tech relatedHe was also relieved to hear that his uni will be stopping digital coursework / exams due to this very issue
Despite this - the funny thing is that he's acing all his exams which is surprising me.

I hate AI myself.
For me I know I could get AI to write things like "what do I put in my card on anniversary" or something like that.
But that's just a path to me not thinking.
I know it would save me time etc etc but I just don't want to not use my brain. It's frustrating as it's going to penetrate work more and more. And I know I have to use it. But I don't like it.

What do you honestly expect? You're not going to have access to any internal tools and resources. Any University site will basically just contain their prospectus and a bit about the University, and what fees they charge. Everything else will be on a student portal needing a login to access.
The funny thing is that's not really what AI is intended for. It takes zero intelligence to come up with something to write in an anniversary card.
Think of how AI will get used on a significantly grander scale. Think of it solving mathematical problems that even the brightest brains on earth struggle to do - and in record time. Think of how big a role it will play in science - imagine medical research, and it figuring out things that might take humans years or decades to discover.
But we use tools all the time. But if AI goes the way I think it will. It will make most humans obsolete.
It doesn't have to be used for simple mundane tasks but it will be. And if it is what is there even left to do?
Sure some people might for a while be able to guide/monitor these AIs. But so many people will be obsolete.
Can't actually wrap my head around what proper AGI or even much more capable AI is going to be.
Just one example is films. It won't be long before AI can spam out a film. This is the wrong thread for this. But I do wonder. How much thinking the average person will even do.im future.
Man walked on the moon using human calculations assisted by Hewlett Packard calculators and a few extremely limited computers.
Is your lad prone to wearing a monocle and carry a pocket watch too?
Fair play to him though for staying ‘old school’ - and good luck to him with his studies.
I see a future where UBI likely becomes a necessity, which also makes larger populations obsolete in turn. The issue is our fiscal growth models are obsolete, I won't go into why I think that way as I feel it might overly derail the thread unnecessarily but suffice it to say I think that population decline is healthy to a degree.
It might not happen in the next decade or two, but it's not a million miles off either. I'm very, very much against going to university for the sake of it, unless you're looking at STEM and are actually competent you're possibly taking on more debt than you'll ultimately pay off. That was semi-true a decade or two ago, it's increasingly true to this day and the slack is often picked up in the worst ways. Case in point, I know a gentleman who decided to get a degree in Spanish (language) 15 + years ago, he's yet to pay off the debt of time spent and has never worked more than minimum wage jobs. If you're skilled in languages and want to make a career from it you need to be damned good, especially with one which is relatively easy to pick up as a native English speaker. If he'd opted to learn Mandarin I'd have an entirely different opinion, but he's a soft spoken introvert that was conned into higher education because he liked something that would never serve him long term. The sad thing is, he's really good with practical type stuff, taught himself to lay bricks, plaster, and a few other things.
Uni for the sake of uni is worthless, and the fact people are stressing out over AI while within the system is painfully telling.

Don't knock it.. the fountain pen is an elegant weapon from a more civilized age.
