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.

    On one hand I don’t blame people for wanting to make money.

    On the other hand hand how come EVERYONE is in it for the money?

    Integrity is all gone and I hate that I can be in classes with 40 CS majors and still can’t share my hobby of programming with anyone.

      Dude, aladdin answered this question in like, the second song. https://www.disneyclips.com/lyrics/lyrics31.html

      Rather than get mad at the way a certain part of society is constantly raising the level of the magma, plunging us all into horrifying pain, people simply focus on trying to get one rung higher on the ladder.

      It used to be a shoe salesman could afford a house and kids. Now you need to be a tech worker with a partner who is a tech worker to be ‘safe.’ Tomorrow you’ll need to be a highly successful small business owner with a staff of 20+ that you pay peanuts. Eventually, only a small ring of folks will have enough money to not be slaves.

      I believe it’s a mixture of genetic disposition and environmental factors. surely the capitalistic mindset contributed a lot but even without that, some people are greedy.
