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.

Really appreciate you taking the time to write this out. People forgetting how to learn is my largest concern with AI, in addition to a dead internet theory scenario where almost nothing new is being created by people.

What you articulated about the first concern really did leave me with more hope for the future than I had previously. One of the best comments I’ve read on this platform.

Sorry to see some of the replies making tired political quips instead of critiquing your actual points head on.

Thank you for saying so. I appreciate it. As always I could be wrong - I'm just a meat popsicle.

See? Civil discourse. Still possible. Even in 2026. Thumbs up to you, friend.
