Keeping up with AI is hard – we get it!

That’s why over 1M professionals read Superhuman AI to stay ahead.

AI tools are showing us just how broken the education system really is.

I recently stumbled upon this article talking about the AI double standard in education.

Teachers are using AI to grade school papers and prepare learning plans — yet they’re banning students from using it.

ChatGPT getting banned in schools and universities tells you everything you need to know about the education system.

School doesn’t prepare anyone for the real world.

If they did then none of these tools clearly used in the real-world would be banned.

All most schools do is feed you with unnecessary or esoteric knowledge you wouldn’t need to use in the vast majority of cases.

In university they box you into a cage of specialization to meet the requirements for a job.

And for most of the jobs, you didn’t even need to know half of the things they made you learn to get the certificate.

Assignments and exams for the most part only test how much you can recall information.

They test your memory retrieval ability. They don’t test your thinking process.

They don’t test how sharp your mental models for solving problems are.

So of course if they allowed AI tools like ChatGPT, everyone would get a perfect score in every exam.

Because all the knowledge is already out there.

Actually, AI is making it pretty clear that assignments and exams shouldn’t even really exist.
