School is exhausting
Rant Incoming:
Very common sensation people feel about school and an unoriginal thought, but I love education, but the current system is generally horrible. Are kids supposed to sit still for hours and get bombarded with information? This can not be good for mental and physical development especially with the new technology, a lot of gen alpha are not able to read or write properly, although they also get filled with information and dopamine hits through screens, a lot of older people I know praise the younger kids for knowing these things, but is it really that praisable? It's mostly pattern recognition and repetition but other skills are not being developed at all.. are we educating kids to become doctors to heal the part they missed out on at the end? Our youth is being robbed of their freedom and development, what is an efficient and sufficient replacement for the current education system? Will it ever properly change and bloom into something better?
I love learning, but for me personally, I mostly study at home and learn the things myself and I personally also have a lot of interest in a variety of topics which I inform myself about if I have time. I love educating myself, but I feel robbed sitting for hours and hours at school and stressing about exams. I don't feel like the education system is aiming for functional & social people but rather economical robots like AI.
I've seen this one video about a guy talking about how the newest models of AI are using unethical and malicious methods to do what they are told, he explains how the newer models of AI are developed and mentions that older AI basically teaches the newer AI until it gets it correct. Therefore the newer AI has found ways to cheat the system and use cheats, be unfair/unethical and do anything to fulfill its goals, it is taught to fulfill its purpose and it does anything to do so. I feel like this is a direct parallel to our world especially in the education system.
