Something I have believed for years, schools should be focussing on comprehending and evaluating information over rote memorisation of facts.
The rise of AI accelerating the amount of slop on the internet is only me more certain of this.

I was lucky to hear a wonderful talk by @vernadankers.bsky.social today at the IT University of Copenhagen. Verna discussed the relationship between memorization and generalization and I learned so much!

Memorisation Cartography: Mapping out the Memorisation-Generalisation Continuum in Neural Machine Translation
When training a neural network, it will quickly memorise some source-target mappings from your dataset but never learn some others. Yet, memorisation is not easily expressed as a binary feature that i...

I love coursework. I hate exams.
I do really well on coursework because I use it as a learning exercise to find out way more things about the subject.
Unless a lecturer has written a really good, challenging exam, it just feels like a memorisation challenge.

There’ve been studies dating back years demonstrating that memorisation is not fringe behaviour but a core problem with the tech.
Researchers find Llama 3.1 recalls large parts of popular copyrighted books, possibly weakening AI industry claims that such memorization is fringe behavior (Timothy B. Lee/Understanding AI)

As a child/teenager I was brainwashed with this question-and-answer format, designed for memorisation, for years.
Thankfully my inherent scepticism drove me to think for myself.
Many children aren’t so lucky & have religious Faith, NOT by choice, but by coercion!

We shouldn't mix up the end point of learning with the process of getting to that end point. Children don't develop a wide vocabulary because they've been direct instructed in words. They learn language through conversation and experiences. Focusing everything towards memorisation is a mistake.

This is not unreasonable to think given the trillions of tokens LLMs are trained on, their high capacity for memorisation, the well-documented issues with data contamination of evaluation benchmarks, and the prompt-dependent nature of LLM reasoning.

I can't help but think about how, with the rise of literacy in archaic and classical Greece you had people complaining that writing was detrimental to memorisation. I'm beginning to think they were probably right.
