It's a good thing AI doesn't rely on competent people for training its input and double-checking its output, because otherwise this would be very bad news.
Hell, even before AI there were signs. Half the mechanics in our shop can't diagnose shit unless there's an error code shown when they plug in the computer.
It's No Child Left Behind from Lil Bush...
They just stopped teaching critical thinking and empathy decades ago. People in their 30s and under were never taught critical thinking.
Even with video games, they grew up where a 5 second pause meant googling a walkthrough video. The Water Temple would have broken them.
I can't figure out what's wrong. Every time I print a document, it says it prints, but I just get out a piece of white paper. It was getting lighter and lighter and lighter, and now it's just gone entirely.
Lol
Ah, no, see if you demonstrate any capacity for troubleshooting printers you fail the intelligence test.
The intro of Idiocracy on overdrive. Well done.
What?
Walley if anything, but I hate how fucking no one understands Idiocracy but other idiot always upvote any comment containing it.
I've watched thst movie at least 4 times and can pretty much cite it.

Were voluntarily externalizing and hence losing knowledge.
So whats your issue. That it's not identical? Gatekeeping the understanding of Idiocracy, man. Get a grip.
Why the fuck would anyone answer your questions when you ask them like that?
Why wouldn't the other person just give up on helping you understand it?
Like, you memorized some quotes to a movie you didn't understand, congrats bro, that's what a fucking chatbot can do. That's the level you're on, but you undoubtedly think of yourself as Not Sure.
