> For k-12, getting the parent and the student to sit down outside of school and “cheat” by having the parent teach the kid is… victory! You’ve reinforced the idea that learning can happen outside schools.

I don't think they were trying to prevent parents from working with children; I think they were trying to prevent parents doing the homework for children, or the kids farming it out to someone else online, or getting someone else to do it for them, period.

Same with college; it wasn't exactly networking when someone I knew paid someone to do their homework for them.

Right, that's delegating.


I certainly hope that doctors, civil engineers & researchers aren't doing too much delegating in college.


They'll soon be replaced by chatbots, for better or for worse.

Doctors are already running to ChatGPT. I went to an urgent care the other day and the PA regurgitated what the LLM told me in the waiting room.


Does that mean the PA also read the output of ChatGPT? Or that the same diagnosis was made by both?
