"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

How to stop being overly dependent on AI (lemmy.world)

I am a Gen Z university student. The ChatGPT got boom when I was in 12th grade and I have been using ChatGPT, Gemini and Deepseek since then. I am starting to notice that now I cannot do searching anymore. I literally cannot do anything on my own like coding, learning something, fact checking, doing my assignments. I even become so reliant on it that I sometime even ask it what food should I eat, what exercises I should do. Sometimes, I "talk" with ChatGPT more than real human beings, maybe cuz I somehow end up having a bad experience or not so fulfilling experience with people. I have to use AI again and again for the same question, e.g., I asked a question today, I got the answer. If I encountered that question later again, I would not know the answer and have to go to AI for solution. What to do now? How to get out of this dependence on AI?

Try to solve the problem/challenge without it. When you start feeling that hard part, that difficulty, make a note of it and dig into that and search for what knowledge you're missing, some course, some chapter. Then repeat.

You have to do recovery work. In the past, students used to be "held back" to repeat courses or entire years. That was a good thing, they had to try again to get it right. Now, the educational system is afraid of doing such things, and it's even afraid of giving failing grades, which means that you're not getting that necessary feedback. So it's on you now to give yourself the negative feedback, to evaluate yourself, and to try again. It sucks, I know.
