Americans are scared of sex education. The schools could just continue teaching it, but a lot of people don’t like that.

Barring terrible company policy, those people who can’t do more than allow the AI to think for them will find themselves out of a job pretty quickly if they can’t do the work themselves.

Bad employees and stupid people will always be stupid, the newest tech isn’t the cause of that. Maybe it lowers the bar of entry a bit?

Lastly, you’re clearly gatekeeping “the ability to critically think” based on some arbitrary conditions you made up based on “how things used to be”, so to speak. Maybe you could have used your superior boomer wisdom to figure that one out.

This is some boomer-tier gatekeeping and just another “back in my day, things were better because…”

The people who aren’t problem solving beyond typing something into a chat bot are the same people who wouldn’t have done so before the chat bot existed.

You can absolutely find similar complaints about the internet being invented, or search engines, or any other technological expansion in the past entire human history.

Whenever copilot tells me I can’t do something I tell it how much I think Microsoft is a bunch of losers for the restrictions they’ve put in.

It doesn’t solve anything but I feel a little better after.

Realistically, a kid that wants to see some funky stuff is going to find a way. Not every website cares about these stupid laws.

Instead of policing everyone, risking security leaks, and deanonymizing users, the parents who want to stop their children from viewing naked humans should just put up block lists on their network. It would filter a lot more than just adding age verification to reddit.

Also, most students have phones. The first time I saw someone I knew naked was some other kid showing me the photos she sent him. He and I weren’t even friends, we just, sat next to each other in class.

I make $48k biweekly and was only JUST able to buy a house.

Yes, I will only settle for a massively overpriced mcmansion, why do you ask?
