"I have not used ChatGPT, because as of yet, no one has held a shotgun to my head and made me do it." — Vince Gilligan (WATCH: Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan really hates AI, Simone De Rochefort, Polygon, Nov 7, 2025)
Kids are taught to look things up, right? That basic recommendation assumed that available sources would contain facts. But now, there are LLMs, which are "nonsense machines." So looking things up is bad advice, or at least incomplete advice, given the widespread availability of a tool that lies to you. Otherwise kids are going to use the nonsense lying tool and believe they've learned something from it.
"They 'looked it up'! they got it from somewhere! ... it's something they think they LEARNED"
Well this is grim

Schools were unprepared for this:
"at least in the early days, a total crapshoot: Some states claimed that they had not thought about ChatGPT at all, while other state departments of education brought in consulting firms to give trainings to teachers and principals about how to use ChatGPT in the classroom. Some of the trainings were given by explicitly pro-AI organizations and authors, and organizations backed by tech companies. The documents, taken in their totality, show that American public schools were wildly unprepared for students’ widespread adoption of ChatGPT, which has since become one of the biggest struggles in American education."

By the way, the president uses "AI" as a deflection to indicate something is false.
"The hundreds of billions of dollars companies are investing in AI now account for an astonishing 40 per cent share of US GDP growth this year... In a way, then, America has become one big bet on AI."

Look what a massive amount of the U.S. stock market is invested in "AI" companies.
Generative AI is a societal disaster: Governments are deluding themselves into believing investment justifies allowing AI to upend society. Don't buy the AI hype. by Paris Marx, Disconnect, October 24, 2025

The UK made it illegal to hire someone to write an essay for you. Yet there's nothing that can be done about machines writing the essay for you?
