The US is fucking cooked
I can’t help but think this is a phenomenon unique to the US where education has been completely devalued. If the only point of education is to fulfill a requirement to make more money then it makes sense to shortcut as much as possible.
The solution is of course no computer
Your first paragraph is fine, because your argument is a non-argument and is mostly just stating what people believe (people can both condemn AI and the Amerikkkan Education System).
Your second one is just a lack of investigation and a false contradiction. It is not contradictory to believe both the system designed by capitalists to train factory workers and managers is awful and the glorified Markov statistics algorithms masquerading as intelligence are bad. Also, the grievances you talk about are entirely valid, as they are based upon the nightmare education system that many Euro-American countries have. And sure, maybe your situation was different, but that’s a good thing for you because you didn’t have to deal with a shit school. It’s just not acceptable though to turn around and say that just because you don’t know how bad it is, that it isn’t bad. I won’t deny your trauma, and you shouldn’t deny others. Simple as that.
Your third one is just bad. Your argument is “Kids sometimes make bad choices, so they shouldn’t be able to make other choices” - am I getting that right? To that, I say that literally everyone makes bad choices, and just because someone expresses bad judgement doesn’t mean that it is right to revoke them rights or their ability to consent or revoke their consent to situations. Kids often know a lot more about themselves than people think. Not to an absurd degree, but contradictory to the “Children as unthinking property” thesis that the bourgeoisie establishment constantly touts.
