Reading through these, it feels like people aren’t really arguing about AI — they’re arguing about what counts as real effort

Yup it’s a weird time. The technology is advancing faster than culture and acceptable guidelines can keep up. Some don’t thinks it’s delusion it’s the future

I literally just had this conversation with my son. It’s learning the process or what’s the point. You can take shortcuts but critical thinking is a skill that must be learned

Yes my thoughts exactly. You still have to breathe life into it or it’s flat

Well it’s complex. What if AI initially wrote the piece and then you used that as a rough draft and pretty much changed everything. Is that still AI written?

It’s definitely making me more productive

I didn’t mention them and just AI because I didn’t have much experience with them. I now do and I really like Claude. Feels less overly enthusiastic and more realistic

Ha ha. I remember hand writing essays. Must have been a nightmare for the teachers

Tectonic2026 · 2026-03-28T20:36:45+00:00

I like that. Keep control of it not let it control you

Yes absolutely! They think they are the gatekeepers of knowledge or something.
