Wharton researchers gave nearly 1,000 high school math students access to ChatGPT during practice problems
Result: chatGPT is the perfect trap.
Look at the red bars.
Students with ChatGPT crushed their practice sessions.
The basic ChatGPT group solved more problems and those on the "tutor" version did even more.
Now look at the gray bars. That's the exam.
No AI allowed.
The ChatGPT group scored 17% worse than kids who practiced with zero technology.
And the fancy tutor version?
No better than working alone.
The researchers called AI a "crutch."
When they analyzed what students actually typed into ChatGPT, most of them just wrote - “What’s the answer?”
The kicker: students who used ChatGPT believed it hadn't hurt their learning.
They were confidently wrong.
This is the AI trap in education.
Outsourcing your thinking.
Of course, lots of half-baked AI literacy curricula being rolled out in schools now
Let’s of course ignore that basic literacy (the ability to read) is possible for <50% of 8th graders

@FacingNorthX@brnraccount001@MrPitbull07 I live in a city with near $20 min. wage, and I always tip 20% plus the difference to the nearest 5 or 0 dollar amount. However, when thinking about the reasons we have tips, the act of tipping makes no sense where I live. The kid who bags my groceries cannot accept a tip.
@FacingNorthX@brnraccount001@MrPitbull07 That's the way it should be. Tipping percentage does not go down depending on the servers wage. Some places in the US have sub 3 dollar server wages while others have 20+ wages. Tipping to subsidize sub minimum wage servers makes sense since likely the food prices are cheaper.
This popular YouTube video demonstrates how constructivism theory can be used in the classroom with various tech tools. I use OneNote in my practice; it gives students a moderated platform to share their ideas and work collaboratively. https://t.co/9eQGKKPQge #6711SM5
@J6Videos@Quadro_News I have a pocket 2 and 3. Shockingly, my pocket 2 still works just like the day I purchased it. Just because something new comes out, its predecessor isn't obsolete. That's just a mindset.

However, if looking at the entirety of wrestling and the people who brought it to where it is today, I would have to include Hogan and Cena.
