This article in Yahoo portal should seem both unimaginable and undesirable.

"They're not doing it: AI may be killing homework as we know it"
https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/homework-faces-existential-crisis-ai-100000703.html

I say nothing more yet. All who want to, read, think, respond in your way if feel to do so.


edit: very small minor edit, added three characters for sentence mechanics & grammar purposes.

Already while reading the article it hits me that the assignments were recently changed in “design” as part of the school reform. I wonder if it’s at all possible to do so again to “circumvent” the use of AI. I see for me a gridlocked battle changing the assignments and AI responses in perpetuity to alleviate this problem, possibly creating a new kind of problem as a result…?
 
Part of the problem is that the technology oligarchs have got western society under their control. Nothing can happen until we have reclaimed our rights as human beings free from technocratic dictatorship.

If not now, when?

The AI systems are already being programmed with the oligarchs political agenda.

They don't care if our education systems are wrecked.

I was about to say it sounds paranoid, then again you’re not paranoid if they really are out to get you.

I asked Google AI about this:

"
AI Overview

Yes, a large and growing percentage of kids are using AI for homework, with some studies showing the majority of high school students using it for schoolwork. While some students use it to assist with tasks like summarizing or researching, others may use it to complete assignments, with a significant portion of students acknowledging this can be seen as cheating"

When I was growing up there was a children's TV serial called "The Changes". The plot was that everyone woke up one day and were possessed by an ancient spirit that rejected all new technology. In those days, it was TVs, washing machines and cars etc that were destroyed.

Britain reverted to a medieval society of sorts. It was, of course, supposed to be dystopian.

I'm not so sure that there isn't dystopia in all directions now.

"In 2013, after a series of hospitalizations due to magnets, New Zealand government officials permanently banned the sale of those made from neodymium-iron-boron (NIB)." https://www.sciencealert.com/new-zealand-teen-loses-part-of-his-bowel-after-swallowing-nearly-200-magnets "A 13-year-old boy in New Zealand has had part of his bowel surgically removed after he ingested nearly 200 high-powered magnets. (2025)" OK, this teen was a fool, but it is not always a teen, it is not always...
