‘But there is a difference between recognising AI use and proving its use. So I tried an experiment. … I received 122 paper submissions. Of those, the Trojan horse easily identified 33 AI-generated papers. I sent these stats to all the students and gave them the opportunity to admit to using AI before they were locked into failing the class. Another 14 outed themselves. In other words, nearly 39% of the submissions were at least partially written by AI.‘

It's not the density of information. It's the end goal of the process. Students are only given motivation to learn for a career and people have figured out that most jobs are bullshit. If they can bullshit their way though college, they can bullshit their into a career. When layoffs are done by lottery, it's not even like the sincere students can be safe. It's bullshit stacked on top of other bullshit.

I was thinking of primary school. I'd say back then learning is more intrinsically motivated if not overdone.

So am I. From the very beginning, kids are constantly asked what they want to do when they grow up, which should be fine, but the adult asking that will always follow up with a suggestion.
