They talk about it in terms of evolution.

They talk about it in terms of adaptation.

It's adaptation to an artificial digital environment that they have created and foisted upon us.

So they create a situation in which everyone is expected to basically become this human machine symbiote and

it's true in that artificial environment you won't necessarily get the job unless you can be a prompt engineer and have the machine think for you it doesn't mean that you are a more excellent person it doesn't mean in the long run that these companies will be the most successful it just means that in the near term people are being herded into this and it's happening at the level of education i've been speaking at colleges and have actually had a lot of young people come out to my talks that really surprised me

who are terrified at their peers becoming completely reliant on AI.

The teachers just simply... Tell me about that.

Again, there aren't any hard statistics other than to know that... No, I'm talking anecdotal.

Anecdotal.

Kids are telling me that many of their peers who are doing very, very well grade-wise are doing well because they basically ask the machine to write an essay and they turn it in.

The professor has no way really of testing it.

They've got all this software to do it.

It doesn't really work.

So you've got this generation of kids, some number of which, it wouldn't surprise me, Steve, if it was like half.

but some number of which are simply learning nothing.

They are not disciplining themselves to read, to understand, and to write.

They simply ask the machine to do it, and they're getting passed through.

These universities, the diplomas are going to be worthless at this rate.

And one of the most, I guess, kind of heartbreaking stories, this girl comes up to me, young woman, who tells me that the valedictorian from her high school

had done exactly that, and she was valedictorian, the thing that bothered me, she said, how am I going to compete with someone like that?
