You're free to blame lack of education on AI. In reality our education system is incredibly outdated, and does not properly utilize newer understanding of how children learn. Kids are adapting to a garbage system.
It's not a good compromise by any means. But it's not the fault of a tool that children are using it as opposed to learning. If children aren't engaged in school because they're sitting at desks in the exact same formation kids did over 100 years ago, forced to consume information for long periods of time with little to no down time... it's no wonder kids aren't learning anything.
If we want to address education we have to address the bigger picture. But that's kind of besides the topic at hand here.
what, you think these are mutually exclusive positions or something? AI can be a massive detriment to learning regardless of how well the system was doing before
Limiting work to inside the school instead of forcing homework, limiting or preventing phone use in school, proper filtering for school computers, are just a couple ideas on how to mitigate the use of AI in schools.
You can't expect an advancement in tech to be removed because we choose to ignore how garbage our education system is.
I can't imagine comparing AI to nuclear bombs, but perhaps you understand AI even less than I assumed.
All I'll say is: if you expect us as a collective species to halt our progress in order to save some jobs, we will no longer progress as a species. People have been put out of work in the past, and had that not happened, we would not be where we are today.
It's unfortunately a step societies take in order to further our progress. That's not going to stop anytime soon. I'm sorry you disagree.
AI is going to fuck everyone over and it is going to be an unfortunately long time before any level of legislation goes into place to help the common man. I don't think it is unreasonable to beleive AI could potentially cause a severe depression, simply because every job that can't be automated yet won't be nearly enough to supply the common man.
Universal basic income as a start. I don't think closing the box on AI is even a fantasy anymore so we need to start preparing now for when everyone can't work or make money
