"A commercial industry is assaulting education."

That's it in a nutshell.

Great thread!

Public discourse on this subject has utterly failed to direct citizens' attention to the actual problem, which is that a commercial industry is assaulting education. So every week we get another thoughtless op-ed on blue books or the death of the college essay, etc etc.

Um, hell yes!

A company wants to sell you their output, but doesn't want to be responsible for that output? We'd laugh out loud if it was a physical product. So why should we accept it for a digital product?

One of the biggest issues with the synthetic text extruding machines is that we have well-formed linguistic output with no accountability. Solution: OpenAI should be accountable for everything that comes out of ChatGPT, period. (And likewise for Google with Gemini, etc.)

How many times does it need to be said?

Using AI is anti-education, anti-learning, and actively harmful to the process of cognition.

"Developers who fully delegated to AI produced working code but failed conceptual quizzes afterward. They couldn't debug what the AI had written for them. They had the output without the understanding."
Adults Lose Skills to AI. Children Never Build Them.
Discussions of cognitive offloading often miss a critical distinction: What AI does to a 45-year-old's brain is categorically different from what it does to a 14-year-old's.

This Threads post by @joedator.bsky.social nails it.

#AiIsTheProblem #TechLiteracy
Post from Threads by joedator. Text reads: I invented a robot that can rob a bank. Of course, it robs these banks on its own, so I can't be held legally responsible when it robs a bank. I mean, all I did was invent it, it's not my fault if it works exactly the way I intended. Also, I get to keep all the money from the banks it robs. Sorry if any of that money was yours, but now that I've invented the Bank Robbing Robot, the Bank Robbing Robot is inevitable.

Using AI in education is bad for students. We have the proof.

AI uses illegally & immorally obtained data for training. We have the settle court cases.

There is no rational reason for students to be using AI in schools.

NEW: A new pre-print study offers the first causal evidence that outsourcing reasoning tasks to AI can rapidly erode users' independent performance AND their will to persist despite difficulty.

AI in Education undermines our students' education, skills, and thinking. It undermines teachers' experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities. It devalues human skills, knowledge, and labor.

The most dangerous thing about AI is not that the machines might one day think. It is that we are being trained, by men with enormous financial gains riding on our acquiescence, to stop thinking for ourselves.

...if any sourcing is provided, it's "According to this source" - except #AiIsTheProblem is (best-case) "summarizing" and doing an approximation of the original wording, based on statistical modelling for word sequences.

It’s almost as if the existing evidence suggests teachers should refuse GenAI.

See this paper from Melissa Warr and Marie K. Heath:

"Findings reveal that LLMs exhibit implicit biases, such as assigning lower scores when students are said to attend an 'inner-city school' or prefer rap music."
