My high school is known for being sweaty because it has IB but also people use AI all the time here, to the extent that “chatgpt” is used as a verb. Unfortunately my classmates just want to get through their work as easily and possible and grab the diploma.

I tried to convince several people to not use AI or at LEAST use a different one from chatgpt, but I generally only got good results from people who were not taking very difficult classes. The more popular lot of Advanced Learning people even brushed me off as a “larper” when I tried talking to them about this.

How should I get more people to be willing to see chatgpt as something besides the easy way?

    I think my classmates think it’s efficient partly because many of them ask it about stuff they didn’t pay attention to because they were yapping amongst themselves during class so they can’t even tell when the AI is pulling a fast one, they just get a nebulous and possibly correct understanding of the material which is better than nothing

    I suppose a better question is how to remove AI as a lifeline for lazyboneses or take away its appeal but the former would involve dealing with authorities and I have little support on this in my school 😭

      What they think is wrong and is borne out of laziness and the misguided mass hysteria that this is the future. Other futures are available. Your phrasing of the question led me to believe you have absorbed the bs marketing of the peddlers of so-called AI. There is nothing efficient about it at present.

      Don’t use it whenever you don’t get punished for it in school, i.e. people should know how to use it so it should be taught in schools. Along with how to spot mistakes and general media savvyness. Highlight the mistakes and shortcomings whenever possible. Stay away from people who need to ask a chat bot first before they do anything. Be the fucking salmon that swims upstream past lurching bears to get laid (and let’s say not die during or afterwards, to keep it light).
