AI – Why Shouldn’t We Use It?

I'm new to this sub. I was hoping to converse a little and get some opinions on this. I think it's an interesting phenomena within our society at the moment, where if you think about AI as a tool, and I personally see it as the greatest tool ever invented/gifted to mankind, why, or what is the issue, with using it? You see it all throughout society. People are up in arms about students using it to write papers is a big one, and I wonder, did papers ever need to be written in the first place? I apologize if this has already been answered to the nth degree and been beaten into the dirt, but realistically wouldn't it be possible that the ideas supporting this non-use of AI are rooted in established organizations that stand to suffer when they are completely obliterated by a tool that can not ...

Harvard just proved AI tutors beat classrooms. Now what?

Looking for some advice and different opinions. I have been following the AI in education space for a while and wanted to share some research that's been on my mind. Harvard researchers ran a randomized controlled trial (N=194) comparing physics students learning from an AI tutor vs an active learning classroom. Published in Nature Scientific Reports in June 2025. Results: AI group more than doubled their learning gains. Spent less time. Reported feeling more engaged and motivated. Important note: This wasn't just ChatGPT. They engineered the AI to follow pedagogical best practices - scaffolding, cognitive load management, immediate personalized feedback, self-pacing. The kind of teaching that doesn't scale with one human and 30 students. Now here's where it gets interesting (and concernin...

Is Gemini CLI in VS acting up for you guys too?

I’m using Gemini CLI in VS and it’s really slow. Whenever a task is a bit longer (about half of Claude’s capacity), the code generation breaks. Is it just me, or are you guys having the same problem? Obs: I am using Debian 13 in a X99 32gb ram, nvidia 3060 with intel V4 2680. The Linux has zero problem and can face more intensive tasks easily. submitted by /u/United_Custard_4446 [link] [comments]

Dumb Question

I am pretty overwhelmed by AI and how it's in every app I use. I don't like that my data is being collected. Does anyone have any suggestions to stay away from AI? I think I have to give up my phone use completely. submitted by /u/lamelameloser [link] [comments]

“ASI could literally create solar systems.” – is everyone losing their minds? Or am I stupid?

https://www.reddit.com/r/accelerate/comments/1q2crc2/comment/nxcs7tn/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button Some of the claims I’m seeing feel like saying "humans are about to start flying like Superman." Superman is fun! I'm glad we have imaginations. But are people operating inside symbolic systems that no longer answer to the physical world? I'm 44. All growing up I thought "wow" adults and scientists and everyone is so official and smart. One day, I'll be like that. Now I meet 25 year old doctors and people in charge of huge education institutions. They're just people. Some are wise. Some are totally out there and obsessed with things most of us don't agree on. And a lot of them don't seem very worried about maintaining ...
