What's the most disappointing technology of the 21st century so far?

38. Agree completely. See my reply 35. I read a lot of teachers' posts on Twitter, and the only ones

I've run across who are happy about generative AI are the ones who are temporarily profiting off urging people to use AI, usually in some sort of partnership with one or more AI companies.

Otherwise, teachers are doing their best to try to limit the damage done to education - especially by cheating but also by students feeling there isn't much point in mastering any skill if AI will just automate everything and there won't be any real chance at the careers they want.

But a lot of those teachers are feeling terribly stressed, even despairing.

GenAI has already taken a wrecking ball to education.
