A post that lives rent-free in my head points out that a kid who is addicted to chatgpt is going to be more literate - and therefore likely better educated - than a kid who is addicted to tiktok

Just like they always have. There’s a reason religion is mostly inherited.

Has there ever been a modern time when this wasn't the case?

I mean: I can only go back so far, but I remember the 1980s well-enough. At that time, most of the new information that came into my brain from outside was sourced from public schools, newspapers, and the evening news on TV.

None of these sources were particularly unfiltered, uncensored, or unbiased. It was always an abbreviated approximation of someone else's idea of the truth.

It's enough to make "explanation" a separate "educational" license to make it less broad used. Or disable it in some countries (this is happening already).

There's a big difference between having something explained to you and developing expertise in it.

I don't see an AI-as-explainer future where expertise isn't sacrificed en masse.

Capitalism rarely supports a currently economically unproductive alternative for future good reasons.

The recent AI tech layoffs are a warning sign that corporate leaders will happily shoot their company's (and the future's) expertise to pad next quarter's financials and trust in 90% correct, but much cheaper, AI.

Imagine someone in a position of power mandating that LLMs should not be good teachers.

Some manager at LLM provider: "hey, we can sell 'education' ability as a separate product!".

You jest, but I’m actually convinced education-tuned LLMs are (today) the only way education outcomes can actually improve in the AI era. As is, students are leveraging them for doing homework which makes homework useless, you want and economically need a model which can work as a 1:1 tutor with minimal supervision (and some hardware so lessons aren’t keyboard-driven).

What's wrong with (screen-, probably) keyboard?

Writing with a pen or pencil has better learning outcomes than with a keyboard for neurological reasons.
