A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

It was right there with flying cars and domed cities on the moon. That was part of the whole Disneyworld/OMNI Magazine promise about life in the year 2000.

My kids use chat gpt to learn stuff sometimes, like math. They do extensively check it's not bullshit though.

I definitely see a trend where crappy teachers get bested by computers.

I'm just imagining a bunch of young children that talk and think like ChatGPT. They will not understand that humans should be drawn with 2 arms

Yeah but Michelangelo gets a pass as he was a crazy genius!

Edit: Leonardo ofc

Fyi the vitruvian man was drawn by Leonardo, not Michelangelo. Different ninja turtle.

It is the new popular art style.

"Mommy, why do some people have three arms?"

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago

Don't worry, kid. You've got two arms, and that's above average.

Ha ha took me a while lol

Crappy teachers get bested by computers which turn out to be even crappier because they don't give a shit about things like how a kid is feeling today psychologically or if they just need some encouragement to try a little harder.

And then you get into the hallucinations.

I would rather have a crappy teacher that cares about the kids than an AI who has no capacity to do so.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Ya, but where do you find those "teachers who care about kids" you are taking about?

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That's why you should have good teachers. Replacing them with machines isn't a solution, because kids have to learn from other humans. That's kinda how our species works. Learning isn't just based on strings of words, but also human interaction.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

In the best of worlds of course, but for now it's better than nothing.

The very best is a personal teacher but that seems unlikely for most kids...
