No, it’s a willful denial of reality problem. How they work, why they’re needed are basic things taught in almost every school in the states. Students intentionally ignore it.
I don’t disagree that traditional academia should be reformed, but wanted to nitpick the assertion that assignments shouldn’t be easily completed by LLMs to be of value. Isn’t that analogous to the “I can just do this on a calculator” argument? Learning those tasks from first principles and going through the mechanics of it has value in education (albeit this can be overdone).
You said part of it yourself friend, “in almost every school”, sounds like an education problem.
If more people had access to a program of education focused on modern science this problem may not exist. I’m not certain because we just know until we live it and study it.
Almost every school because there’s outlier private schools. When 90%+ of schools are teaching it and 50% aren’t learning it, the students and parents are the larger portion of the issue, not the schools.
You can’t educate people who won’t listen, believe the information you give them, or learn.
Willful ignorance is extremely common. I work in tech and I have persistent memories of people refusing to learn the most basic shit to help themselves, or change their behavior because “their way” doesn’t work anymore, then insist I find a workaround so they can continue to do it whatever backwards way they’ve been doing it.
I once asked a user to open a folder on a shared drive on a server and I shit you not, they opened fucking word, went to open and browsed from there to the server.
That’s the only way that they knew to get to the fucking files.
People are fucking stupid, won’t learn, refuse to be taught, and want to remain as uneducated as they possibly can, knowing just enough to continue being employed.
Well, education in terms of exposure. “Practical education” to understand the threats and consequences. Just saying “ya gonna die” is too abstract.
You can go to northern Nigeria right now and see people, especially kids, with shriveled legs who got polio because 20 years ago when a conspiracy theory pushed that George W Bush hated Muslims and poisoned the polio vaccinations. Families hid their children when vaccination teams came around. Turns out the polio was the poison all along!
And this is what these people want BACK. Because no one showed them these pictures and said “you will curse your children to be treated like creatures if they even survive.”
Nah that’s an education problem

Thankfully people have been working on it for some time now

To be fair practically everything boils down to an education problem.
Real
Well, yes, but if you see people die in front of you, that’s another form of “education”.
Yes, but also no.
