the problem with your response isn't that you used AI, it's that you attempt to use it in place of your own agency and intellectual ability instead of as a supplement to it.
correct me if i'm wrong but it seems like the idea here is that you want me to point out how clearly piss-poor your response is and then flip it back on me to say "HA you're a HYPOCRITE!! SEE! AI IS BAAAaaaaAAaDDDdD!!!!"
students in the 2000s copying and pasting things mindlessly into Google and thoughtlessly regurgitating strings they find online were engaging in genuine academically dishonest behavior. that isn't because search engines are bad though, plenty of people used Google honestly, and I think anyone with a fucking brain can see that. so, why then, do people wanna make the same stupid-ass argument when it comes to AI? are you so fucking swept up in the zeitgeist as to not see your own hypocrisy?
like I said, all straw and no fucking man is what you people are.
and, if I am misreading your intentions here, which is assuredly possible... then I refer back to my initial statement in this reply.
I think the actual risk takeaway from this is that you wrote a giant fucking wall of text that essentially boiled down to, "I think AI is fine I think that academia is terrible".
You might have said some other stuff but as I said, it's a wall of text, so if you had some good points to make it was lost in the unnecessary voburs wall of self-flattering.
i mean, imho: if you think ~400 words of text constitutes a "wall of text," then i think you're functionally illiterate. but that's just my take.
You are mistaking ability to read with desire to read.
I skimmed it and it mostly was just your rambling opinion about the education system in presumably the United States because it didn't match up with my comprehension of it in general. So I really appreciated the person who generated the summary thus preventing me from having to read the whole thing.
It was especially appreciated because it subsequently turned out that your entire post was essentially irrelevant to what we were talking about. Hence by the way the downvotes.
