How Good of a Student Would You Have Been in High School/College if You Had Current AI?

[Doobie Doo]

I legit be wondering how do kids fail school now when Chatgpt is free and readily available? All those Summers I spent in school for math courses .
I would've been more motivated in school

I would've chose a more challenging major in college

Shyt if I did better in high school I would've gone to a completely different college.
I honestly believe it would've changed the trajectory of my life.All those times I wondered about shyt then got drunk or high and cuz I ain't feel like going to the library or surfing Google and random websites gathering information. Imaginegetting info on crypto in 2009 or something.

All the schools going to do is make the math legit harder ala "show your work".

No different from when heads were squashing the chances of using Wikipedia, by using citations and worded details.

At this point, the whole education system is cooked . Hell, my Joey's homeschooling allows him to retake tests and go with the full blown notes right in front of him.

When I was in school, you had to study and beat your head against the books to prepare for tests and quizzes.

AI is just a tool, albeit, a new type that we don't fully the impacts of yet... but as with everything else, it depends on the person... we thought with access to more information with the internet at our fingertips people would be more inclined to learn and become more knowledgeable... yet here we are in the year of the moron 2025.

You're a user I have earmarked as an idiot so I'm not surprised by your take.

Nikka I don't even know you so its good to know my Coli activity is noteworthy and memorable.

You wouldn't be smarter. And I'm not even just picking on you. It's the same with me. I was a straight-A student, but I was lazy. So if I had this tool, I probably wouldn't do any work unless I absolutely had to do it. So I think the long-term effect is we become lazier and dumber, to be honest.

I'd say marginal improvement. It would've definitely helped me clean up syntax errors in my Programming classes. Would've leaned on it hard for a lot of my lit/english classes and then got busted by some anal ass teacher/professor. That was all all of this is "AI" and failed the class for being lazy and not wanting to do the reading.

I was always a B student. I would've did enough to be a B student. I just would've had hella more free time with ChatGPT.

 

[mvp_status]

I would've probably worse since most of my major was math based.

My procrastinating ass relying on an AI to get homework/labs done, I wouldve been less likely to retain the knowledge of how to do the work. And at least for me, a large part of my final grades were based on exams anyway.

to get the best results when engaging with ai, you have to know how to ask the right questions. you have to know how to craft the right questions. you have to know when to refute. you have to be relentless in your curiosity. that takes a certain type of mechanical brain with broad exposure. a certain level of intelligence.

i'm sure if ai existed back when we were kids, because of the differing intelligence scales, the output with ai assistance would be exactly the same. some kids will output better work because they are able to engage with ai on a higher level. some kids will output poorer work because they're not able to engage in a way that produces optimal results or because they have minimal access.

some of us are just now adopting ai into our personal lives. some of us have already generated millions of dollars off the implementation of ai. people are moving at different speeds.

Structuring essays into that bland ass style teacher like would've been a LOT easier

Voice to text > AI rearranging your thoughts into an paper not plagiarizing since it would still be from your original thoughts


And coming up with project ideas when teachers hit you with that bullshyt "make up your own project" prompt

About the same, I just used Google to cheat

It's incredibly easy because these lazy ass professors recycled questions

I think I went on chegg, at some point you can't cheat on STEM if the professor wants to make shyt unreasonably difficult and specialized

I guess AI would've been more helpful than being a Google wizard

High school wasn't too hard so didn't have to cheat, would've for sure cheated in chemistry

That's the only class I failed in high school, fukk a valence electron or proton, still don't know and don't care about them shyts

It's no different from Google in that regard


Imo most people fukking suck at looking up things if it isn't spoonfed to em via social media though, so people who weren't already good at searching for things online aren't gonna magically get better with AI.



With AI all you have to do is give it a detailed perspective to reference in most cases. You don't even have to know how to craft the right question because you can just tell it what you want then ask it to reword that into the proper question format to get the best answer.


Bonus points if you can tell it what level of education that you need things explained to you, that way it won't waste time explaining aspects you already understand you can get alot done with just those 3 techniques.
