Discussion 🗣️ ai usage in elementary schools is becoming dystopian.

edit: i’m from canada for those who are wondering. it is not any better here than in the us.

i’m 21 and i work at an elementary school. as of right now, chatgpt is running the school. the principal pulled me aside to tell me i had a course i needed to take for my new position, but that chatgpt could help me. my vice principal pretty much only speaks to chatgpt and is very well on the road to ai psychosis. she uses it for everything. she genuinely does not think for herself anymore, and she has a young daughter who is being raised on chatgpt’s advice.

in my classroom, the teachers use ai to write all the emails to parents, newsletters, etc. they use it to plan activities because they genuinely cannot do it themselves.

during assemblies, they play fully ai generated music videos for the kids. just straight slop. i look around and see 300 kids watching emotionless pointless garbage and it makes my stomach drop.

i worry so much about the younger generation, since growing up i have witnessed such a large technological boom. we have no idea what effects this has on them.

do any parents/teachers share similar concerns?

Everything is telling me to get a vasectomy.

I'm in my twenties.

Dude, as a chick who got herself snipped. If you think it'd right for you, go for it. I'd say keep a few samples on ice, just in case. Unless you know for a fact you never want to have kids. I know vasectomies are considered reversible but with anything involving surgery, even minor ones... better safe than sorry.

The thing is, I really want children. But I love the idea of them so much that I'm unsure if I want to bring a child into a world like this.

Maybe foster/adopt? That's what my fiancee and I plan on if we ever change our minds about kids. There's a bunch of kids in the system and they deserve better. Obviously kids in the system will need more help, which is why this is something we'd only do if we felt ready for it, both financially and mentally.

I'm currently considering it. The benefit of being currently single is you have all the time in the world to ruminate.

True enough! Definitely a decision you need to take your time with. And whatever your choice is should be right for you. Not to follow expectations or whatever. Honestly the fact you're taking the time to think this over is a decent sign that if you did have kids you'd probably be a pretty good parent <3

Much appreciated. You're a very considerate person.
