Wonder how schools will know if a student has written an essay or they just used AI ?

Simple really, the teachers just need to get an AI to review and grade the essays

Does it matter?

This question has made me realise I really don’t give a toss about the long term (200+ years in the future) prospects of humanity.

I care about the world around me and the people in it today. I care about my children and their children and probably their children too, but I don’t think I can bring myself to care about 20 generations into the future any more than I care about relatives 20 generations back dying of bubonic plague etc.


Obviously I’d like for us to avoid this if possible and not embark on a deliberate attempt to end the species, I think we have a moral responsibility to look after the planet we’re on and not dig a hole for the future generations but god knows much of the planet would be much better off without us.

No one grieves for the Neanderthal. We are just another link in the evolutionary chain, eventually we will be replaced like all species before us.

Hah we’re taking less than 5 years not 200 though

No one's seriously talking about AI wiping us out in 5 years.

Or should I say no one serious is seriously talking about AI wiping us out in 5 years...

No one's seriously talking about AI wiping us out in 5 years.

They certainly are
