Because kids can afford to spend 14 hours a day playing with an AI. You can't.

I can if I'm asking ChatGPT how to write Makefiles or whatever all day :-D

If I had to defend GP’s argument that I didn’t make, I’d say something along the lines of our fundamental understanding of the world is built on other premises than it will be for the next generation.

Yeah, I’m not making much of a substantial argument, it’s very much an unqualified intuition at best.

Right now there are millions of high school students tweaking and testing different inputs against LLMs for very real consequences: their grades.

Meanwhile I barely trust LLMs enough to write a relatively inconsequential piece of code.

If this version of AI is the real deal, the kids that are really depending on it are going to figure out the breakthroughs, not me.
