Pupils only? The adults voted for Brexit…

Two thirds of secondary teachers (66 per cent) agree that pupils’ critical thinking has declined due to AI usage.

AI use among teachers is now widespread and growing. Three quarters (76 per cent) are now using AI tools for day-to-day work,

hmmm 🤔

Shall we wait until these findings are proven with a sharp decline in the national average GCSE scores or can we do fuck all about the use of gen. AI… Literally, tools are fine. But replacing the one thing that makes us human, our expression, with machines is ridiculous and doesn’t work.

Driving everywhere and not walking makes you obese.

Using AI and never using your brain makes you stupid.

For people who are used to driving everywhere, and people who use AI all the time, they think walking/thinking is an impossible task that’s only done by superhumans.

I mean, I’m not a teacher, but I’ve seen a massive decline in people’s basic cognitive abilities and social skills the past 5 years in particular. I used to be able to get along and have a conversation with a relative stranger for alike an hour or two. Now they check out after 10 minutes and can’t seem to have a stained conversation about anything without rapidly switching topics, or just flying into an ignorance rage/rant about something they clearly know nothing about. I’ve also seen a massive uptick in straight up hostility toward me for reading paper books and using paper and pen…

the thing that is massively increased is people’s confidence that they are correct no matter what and there isn’t anything they don’t know, and if there is, it’s stupid and not worth learning. I’ve seen this attitude in online spaces and in real life conversations. A massive difference to like 10 years ago when that attitude was far less frequent and people were far more curious and open to new information. I used to volunteer a lot, and I quit because it became so awful to deal with ignorant and aggressive people, whereas previously people were far more amendable and grateful.

I miss people being able to rant about things they did know about and able to acknowledge the limits of their knowledge. AI is basically next gen social media in that all it does is bias-confirm people’s ignorance and tell them what geniuses they are and they get addicted to that cognitive junk food and think good food tastes disgusting.

because of AI

These are teachers responding based on feelings - so the value of this FEELINGS BASED SURVEY is exactly zero.

Whatever drives the clicks though, right? Don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story
