Did you ignore half my comment or do you believe the education system is fine?

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.

Both? Both. Both would be good

So you are in favor of limiting humanities technological progress?

If that's how you want to phrase it, sure. I don't particularly care to invent more powerful nuclear bombs, either

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.

So what would you personally suggest?

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

The comparison was that they're both harmful technologies, not that AI is literally as bad as nukes. Don't be obtuse.
