Raw LLM Responses

I tell my college students this: you use AI to think for you and you’re the ones who will be unemployed. They don’t care, they just mash the buttons and out pops DEGREE. You know how you can’t find places on your own anymore because you have Google Maps on your phone? Okay, imagine that but with basic reading and thinking. That’s where we’re heading. I’ve been clearing a place in my life and family for an analog-first, books-first existence and I can see the difference already—my kid plays some Minecraft but she reads voraciously and most of her other friends aren’t reading books on their own at all yet. And you can tell in her vocabulary and her ability to understand what’s around her. She’s not smart and so she reads. She’s smart because she reads. Reading begets curiosity and more reading. Handing this all over to the bots is going to be the end of civilization as we know it.
