> the reporting / nuance of "until we can research this better and figure out how to harness AI to improve outcomes and not undermine them"

It’s balancing the irrationally exuberant narrative of the tech bros and AI pushers. You have to stop the bleeding before you can dress the wound to promote healing.

I don't think one balances a lack of nuance with more lack of nuance.

One avoids nuance for clicks or to propagate a narrative, sew division, distract, etc.

Again. As I said in both my comments, I'm not criticizing the ban, I'm criticizing the absence of any communication regarding a plan for researching potentially constructive uses. As a reader, I can't tell if the Norwegian leaders have no plan, or if they didn't communicate a plan, or if they did and Reuters chose not to include it in the article.

Not everything has to be a culture war. When we are talking about our children's future it would be cool to do so pragmatically.

Eh, if the politician thinks this is the clarity of language necessary to send the message, I think that’s fine. Studying this and that can come later. It’s not like anyone is banning that research.

And I guess that's a big part of my frustration. I don't know what the politician actually said. I don't see any link to the/an official statement in the article.

I'm just an old man shaking fist at clouds.

I'm sitting on a mountain of evidence (n=44,000) that used in a very specific way and context AI accelerates and improves lasting learning outcomes. Th3 data is new, but the science that explains it actually goes back decades, predating AI - it's based on pedagogy from texts such as How People Learn (NRC).

My data also shows that students using AI the wrong way perform way worse - the performance gap is widening between students who want to learn and struggle (and use AI to optimize struggle) and students who want instant gratification and use AI for shortcuts.

So I know that if they truly slammed the door on this potential then they threw the baby out with the bath water.

But I don't know the truth because Reuters doesn't report the truth, and that's what tips me from concerned to frustrated. But I guess by complaining about modern journalism standards in a thread about banning AI I'm breaking HN guidelines. Time for me to log off...
