RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

I’ve been working with so many students who turn to it as a first resort for everything. The second a problem stumps them, it’s AI. The first source for research is AI.

It’s not even about the tech, there’s just something about not wanting to learn that deeply upsets me. It’s not really something I can understand. There is no reason to avoid getting better at writing.

It's only going to get worse. We're going to encounter people who are basically being piloted by AI throughout their lives, with everything they do.

I don't see why I should not become a meat puppet for AI, every decision I make, seems to be wrong. Why would I let myself make any more?

Don’t we have YouTubers or some maxxing trend where it’s exactly this?

But i mean, most people are followers. Not shocking, really. Look at all the people who buy into bullshit already.

are they or are they just aimless in the current system and look for answers in people who portray what the same system told them is 'success'?

i think most people are not equipped to handle the current nation-state system, so they delegate everything to the state and "thought leaders"
