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.”

How bad is AI usage and lack of literacy/reading comprehension in the global north? Is it as dire as articles like this make it out to be? I wonder how leftists in these countries will prepare for an increasingly illiterate working class that lacks the attention span to watch videos explaining theory while right-wing memes make their points in a handful of words.

We can make the same kind of propaganda for these people:

LANDLORD TAKE MONEY WITHOUT WORK

LANDLORD BAD

KILL YOUR LOCAL LANDLORD
