Tounai13086dI feel like the genZ is particularly stupid and know very little about anything, unless it is because I live in the UK, which is uneducated in comparison to more civilised places

I learned more from 90s hacking forums than I ever did doing my comp sci degree later @ 2013-2016, at evidently one of the best programs / education institutions people could come out of, so I kept hearing. and my grand point average was over 120% there
so I don't think later generations learn more. I think educators get lazy and don't teach you fundamentals. there are some that teach you fundamentals and those are good. but most just teach you some fad thing that is more useless than the paper they wrote their content on, and that's most of what you're taught in a degree. they want to be with the times but instead they teach you useless stuff that was not well thought out or future-"tested"
AI is only as good as the data it was trained on. it's just stealing data. wake me up once we have all of human knowledge, of books, in those things. now that will be the true AI race. it's just a fancy search engine. and just in time, our current search engines are so garbage -
What do you mean? Millenials were dumb fucks before AI. Some of the stuff coming out of Generation Z is looking more promising. IMO

You know how each generation is taught more and more advanced stuff? My grandparents didn't have a clue about the the things my parents were learning at school. My parents could only catch up with my school course until like 7-8 class. Considering this trend we should have no idea about half the things our kids will be learning in higher classes.
However, since AI is taking its pace, schools are adapting and starting to use it for teaching, workplaces are leveraging it to rely on employees' brainpower and skill less and less,... I wonder if we won't see a downtrend. I wonder if we won't be the smartest generation who managed to ingest so much knowledge, and all the generations to come will only focus on mastering prompt engineering.
I wonder, how long will we survive with this dumbed down society... As the primal instinct is to overcome your opponent with greater force, possibly destroying it and everything around. And less educated tend to rely on primal instincts more.
I wonder if I'll live long enough to see Idiocracy [the movie] manifest in real life.
I know I refer to Idiocracy movie more often than anyone refers any other movie here. But it just hits too close to home too often. It might look like a silly something to spend time staring at, but man.. It's got one hell of a point
