    I have a friend who was frustrated that his programming exam was too hard (Python) and stated " why do I need to learn this? I can just use ai and get the job done ". We’re absolutely fugged.

      It’s honestly disheartening. I understand our education system is not well in that tests aren’t actually very condusive to learning, but they treat the idea of learning a skill like it’s some obnoxious chore they just want over with so they never have to do it again when its like… bruh civilization/tech grows exponentially, y’all gotta learn your whole lives and it should be something you ENJOY it should give you pride to be good at something or understand a subject thoroughly.

      i don’t even know what to begin doing about this problem but even if you pretend the environmental impacts are fine/manageable, I can’t help but think this shits gotta be destroyed for the future of humanity.

        learning isn’t fun for the vast majority of people, it’s painful and miserable. they want to avoid it as much as possible.

      I don’t even know what kind of exam it could have been but python is the least problematic language to learn, except ruby and go lang maybe, that are fairly simpler and intuitive. I exclude LUA because I only used it in TIC-80 and for these minigames. So far only senior devs are using AI effectively, if that is possible.

        Unsure on the specifics, something for one of those online colleges. Yeah that’s exactly why it’s a concerning statement. This isn’t assembly, just scripting basics
