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.”

    The same thing happened to me. Ironically I was foolish for not trying harder to be included in that “group”. When I complained at home, I got the “oh you did it all by your self and didnt need to cheat, be proud of that!” - My own family believes that some magical force will “reward” pure intentions and so keep being “good workers”. In the end the people that cheated graduated with honours and now earn more money than me. Life is rarely fair, until we make it so.
