Donations I believe.

Learning how to learn is so important. I only learned that as an adult.

I do go to the real source first. But sometimes, I just need a very simple explanation before I can dive deep into the topic.

My brain sucks, I give up very easily if I don’t understand something. (This has been true since way before short form content and internet)

If I had to say how much I use it to learn, I’d say it’s about 30% of the total learning. It can’t teach you course work from scratch like a real person can (even through videos), but it can help clear doubts.

I agree, I’ve been traumatized by the system. Whatever I’ve learnt that’s been useful to me has happened through the internet, give or take a few good teachers.

I still think it’s a good auxiliary tool. If you understand its constraints, it’s useful.

It’s just really unfortunate that it’s a for profit tool that will be used to try and replace us all.

I understand that. I am careful to not use it as my main teaching source, rather a supplement. It helps when I want to dive into the root cause of something, which I then double check with real sources.

I have difficulty learning, but using AI has helped me quite a lot. It’s like a teacher who will never get angry, doesn’t matter how dumb your question is or how many time you ask it.

Mind you, I am not in school and I understand hallucinations, but having someone who is this understanding in a discourse helps immensely.

It’s a wonderful tool for learning, especially for those who can’t follow the normal pacing. :)

This just isn’t a problem for most people. They have different priorities or just don’t bother.

Who gets to decide if you are useful to society or not? That sounds like such a bull shit reason.

I suppose its very telling what a person’s favorite season is by where they live or were raised.

Winter totally trumps other seasons. It’s just so cozy.
