    Yep, I’m worried US education isn’t equipped to tackle the challenges posed by AI. One obvious way to mitigate it is to require in class writing assignments, along with education about the limitations of LLMs (they’re not magical truth machines, however confident they may appear). But this would require smaller class sizes, something anathema to education in our neoliberal hellscape.

      Indeed, and I’d argue the education system is overly focused on testing where people just cram for the exams and then forget everything after. The point should be to help people develop their reasoning skills, creativity, critical thinking, but none of that really happens in practice. Stuff like LLMs coupled with the public that isn’t able to think critically definitely seems like a recipe for disaster.
