I’ve been working with so many students who turn to it as a first resort for everything. The second a problem stumps them, it’s AI. The first source for research is AI.
It’s not even about the tech, there’s just something about not wanting to learn that deeply upsets me. It’s not really something I can understand. There is no reason to avoid getting better at writing.
i think part of the problem is that web search has enshitified over the years, back in the day you would enter the relevant key words and get the info you needed on the top results most of the time, nowadays it’s all ads. now ai goes to the point, but less reliable. almost like Gemini trying to solve a problem that Google itself created
Well, AI was also quite instrumental in making web search useless. It made it trivial to create infinite spam pages, which search engines have to filter out. Naturally, too much will get filtered out as a result, meaning you can’t find a lot of useful results anymore either.
