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.
It's not much, but I sometimes fantasize about being an old teacher in a post apocalyptic setting. Teachers may be pushed out of capitalist societies, but capitalist societies don't last forever and teaching will always be valuable.
it is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism?
Ooof. Didn't even realize, lol
Don't worry, we're all in the same cage. Becoming leftist is just making it easier to notice the bars.
