Today's manmade horror: Bazingas on twitter are amazed that glorified chatbots like GPT-3 can produce readable text that is nominally about whatever topic you request. Say they just spent 20 minutes learning about physics. Say that this makes all existing forms of education obsolete. Say that teachers are no longer needed.
Directly below this someone else posted a prolonged dialogue where the GPT-3 bot calmly explained why a peregrine falcon is the worlds fastest marine mammal. When corrected it said that the sailfish is the fastest marine mammal, explaining that sailfish are warm blooded and have fur.
Bazingas think they can replace teachers (and everything else) with their half-baked machine learning systems because they're so ignorant and uneducated about anything outside their direct field of expertise that they don't actually know what any other disciplines do, or why they do what they do, or even how to evaluate when they're being fed bad knowledge.
Link for dunking.
i worked with a guy once who thought we should get rid of the entire school system and just have kids google shit if they felt like learning
he was a good guy and he was one of those people who could see the problems we have clearly enough (he correctly thought that the american education system was garbage and just there to break kids down into mindless drones) but was terrible at coming up with solutions
That's the thing: the public education system is terrible by design and has been made worse deliberately by so-called reformers such as B!ll Gates and his buddy :epstein: as well as :obama-drone: and :no-oil: over time as an intentional choice by the ruling class.
The whole point of that talking point is that they want all information and all knowledge to become a dietary choice. You can pick the comforting falsehoods of the right or you can accept reality and be a leftist....but that will obliterate your social life for picking the non-name-brand political ideology.
