Being able to access information faster is not really a problem. I don't know anybody that was super upset that the encyclopedia came on a bunch of CD roms instead of bound volumes.

Not having the skills to assess the accuracy / validity of the information you accessed at breakneck speed however is going to be the downfall of us all.

Ai just made it easier to generate misinformation faster. We were already suffering from the blight of misinformation spreading through various media channels.

If AI can be used to better teach effective media and information literacy, we should be rolling that out in schools.

But it sounds like AI in public schools is largely just being used for speed running homework.

Yeah, it's the speed-running homework and unchecked potential for misinformation that are really problematic. I agree that if it was only a more efficient and accessible repository of information, it wouldn't be nearly as bad, and that's partly what I was getting at in my top-comment (the "may be a version of AI that helps people learn" part).
