The thing is: If #AI actually worked, and I mean was able to do your job effectively, then you wouldn't see OpenAI, Micro$oft, Goggle etc trying to sell it.
They'd be *using it* themselves, and replacing entire industries, because your overhead (staff costs, office costs, HR, payroll, admin etc.) are my competitive advantage.
The fact that we DON'T see this happening is all the proof we need that #GenAI and #LLM don't work as sold.

@sendtherunners I have been driving across Texas several times over the past few years. The lack of #NPR across the area is very obvious. The dumbing down of the US has been accelerated by the Right from home schooling, banning books and controlling college curriculum. Reading Rainbow is too subversive for this cabal. #CriticalThinking
Well-meaning and genuinely good person posted this to facebook. I mean... where the fuck do I even start?
"Outsourcing your brain to AI? You might be losing your edge."
Another correlational study of #AI use and #CriticalThinking draws unmerited causal conclusions.
This one found a *positive* correlation between AI use and (self-report-derived) critical thinking.

Im anglo-amerikanischen Kontext hat sich eine eigene didaktische Linie für die Herausbildung von #criticalthinking etabliert. Ziel ist es, die Grundlage von Urteilen, den Wert von Informationsquellen oder auch die Formen der Wissenserzeugung zu reflektieren und so das Denken anzuleiten. In diesem Sinne wird auch versucht, eine "critical data literacy" aufzusetzen, um auf die Besonderheiten von digitalen (Daten-)Informationen zu reagieren.

Just remember: #Fascists fear #CriticalThinking
An educated and self-educated public weakens #fascism.
In dunklen Zeiten verkaufen Männer wie Musk und Thiel Zukunftsträume wie altes Opium.
Technik wird zum Alibi, Macht zum Ziel.
Und der Mensch? Reduziert auf eine Variable im Algorithmus.
Wer so die Welt ordnen will, löscht am Ende auch das, was ihn selbst menschlich macht.
Technik löst Probleme.
Größenwahn schafft sie.
Musk verkauft Träume, Thiel kauft Demokratien.
Wer Menschen ersetzen will, hat sie nie verstanden.
A brief #criticalThinking exercise that made Democrats less interested in sharing misinformation (https://doi.org/10.1007/s12144-025-07578-5) failed to impact COVID #vaccine #conspiracyTheory beliefs and #vaccineHesitancy.

¿Es más arriesgada la vida virtual o la vida real? ¿Estamos dejando atrás el cuerpo en favor de la simulación?
En este vídeo me apoyo en autores como Giddens, Marx y Bernat Castany para pensar el riesgo, la agencia, y la pérdida de lo corpóreo en la era digital.

"What the herd hates most is the one
who thinks differently;
It's not so much the opinion itself,
but the boldness of wanting to think for yourself - an ability of which they themselves are not capable."
- Arthur Schopenhauer.
#ArgumentMapping is supposed to improve #argumentation, but argument map classes are often flipped (vs. lecture).
So is it #logic explanation or Socratic discussion that helps?
One experiment found that it's probably the latter.
GenAI boosts productivity—but does it weaken our minds? As AI handles more for us, skills like critical thinking may fade. Are we outsourcing too much of our intelligence? #AI #CriticalThinking https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/apr/19/dont-ask-what-ai-can-do-for-us-ask-what-it-is-doing-to-us-are-chatgpt-and-co-harming-human-intelligence

The Art of Justifying Evil -- DarkMatter2525
> The way some people answer the problem of evil can be an avenue to atrocity.
Best quote according to @BaconJets:
> When you're a child, you have imaginary friends. When you're an adult, you have imaginary enemies.
