Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

I remember learning the quadratic equation in highschool, and I memorized it like I did everything, still have no idea what it is or what I would use it for.
The same thing happened in linear algebra in university, I had no idea what I was doing or why it would ever be useful to solve a real world problem.
So I view this as the default state of teaching, and there is no where to go but up. If an AI can teach by dynamically producing videos and answering questions with visualizations I think it could be a great tool.
Sounds like you don't enjoy critical thinking
Well I just do far better with visuals, perhaps its adhd I'm not sure.
those particular math can be visualized by doing shaders. or other few gamedev stuff, which I'd say fun. via programming, where user write instructions and the result is predictable given those instructions.
Not LLM, a black box that gives less predictable result given the same instructions.
Ah, because you learned stuff you then didn't use, learning is useless. Why didn't people think of this when we invented calculators? Why didn't anyone ask exactly this exactly one Thousand times
I'm not saying its useless, I'm saying I was unable to do the things I could have because I wouldnt have known thats what it was for.
The default state of learning is to have no clue why you program your brain or how it fits into a model of the world
Thanks but I don't agree and we do our best learning when curious
Exactly. It has been the case even long before AI that teaching materials on the internet were generally superior to teachers.
