Relentless advancement to produce new gen of blob-no-thoughts seppos

I asked Wendy if I could read the paper she turned in, and when I opened the document, I was surprised to see the topic: critical pedagogy, the philosophy of education pioneered by Paulo Freire. The philosophy examines the influence of social and political forces on learning and classroom dynamics. Her opening line: “To what extent is schooling hindering students’ cognitive ability to think critically?” Later, I asked Wendy if she recognized the irony in using AI to write not just a paper on critical pedagogy but one that argues learning is what “makes us truly human.” She wasn’t sure what to make of the question. “I use AI a lot. Like, every day,” she said. “And I do believe it could take away that critical-thinking part. But it’s just — now that we rely on it, we can’t really imagine living without it.”

Coincidentally every level of management at my job is totally in love with the concept of Ai, except for the 60 year old guy in charge of my tiny department. Although the higher levels of management are trying to convert him by sending him on various technical courses, all of which are trying to make him use AI, but the guy is to technologically incapable that he just gives up immediately. The big danger in my department is the 36 year old tech-enthusiast that recently got promoted to assistant manager (no idea what the actual title is, but he is the 2nd in command of our small 20 person office).
