Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

I'm concerned about children using AI slop machines instead of learning and practicing the fundamentals of written communication
I TOTALLY would have. I'm so glad that I didn't have the option - I wouldn't have understood or cared about the problem here. But there's no putting the genie back in the bottle now... How do we stop the mass stupification these tools will cause?
Well, if I had the power to do anything about it...
Probably smaller class sizes and better paid teachers. A teacher with ten students can pay more attention than one with thirty. And that means they can intervene more and better if a kid is trying to cheat, or doesn't understand, or isn't engaging
I love this solution. You're 100% right. I'm afraid though that it's going to take a pretty serious amount of degradation and WAY too much time before anyone is willing to react appropriately. We're already seeing this young generation not capable of reading with their attention span ruined by social media - Gen AI is the next major problem to contend with and we're not even dealing with the first yet.
yeah but the kids are concerned learning and practice written communication is a waste of time and boring when they can have chat gpt do it for them in 15 seconds and they can spend the 3-4 hours of essay work gaming and chatting on discord with friends.
do you not remember being a schoolchild? what school child actually ever wants to do school work?
