It is notable that so many publications try to salvage "AI" ("need for new pedagogical approaches that integrate AI effectively") rather than ditch "AI" completely.
The world worked perfectly before 2023, there is no need to outsource information retrieval or thinking.

The world worked perfectly before 1982, there is no need for the internet.

God no.
Speaking as someone that communicates primarily through text (high likelihood of Autism) the internet was the first chance a lot of us had to ... speak.. and be heard

Why stop there? We could do long division before the calculator and hand write before the typewriter.

I do wonder if the calculator would have been as successful if it regularly delivered wrong answers.

It does if you’re a clumsy operator and those are not rare.

Yes, but the machine itself is deterministic and logically sound.

Did you learn how to do long division in schools? I did, and I wasn't allowed to use calculators on a test until I was in highschool and basic math wasn't what was being taught or evaluated.

I also learned long division in school.
I was allowed to use a calculator from middle school onward, when we were being tested on algebra and beyond and not arithmetic.
Some schools have ridiculous policies. Some don’t. Ymmv. I don’t think that’s changed from when I was in school.

Alas, we didn't do that with Kubernetes, we probably aren't going to do that with LLMs.

Interesting to see quotes but note N=20 and the methodology doesn’t seem all that rigorous. I didn’t see anything that wasn’t exactly what you would expect to hear.
