School isn’t supposed to be “won” it’s supposed to teach you shit you’ll need later in life. Getting stuff wrong is part of the learning process. If all students do anymore is type LLM prompts they are fucking themselves up in the future. And they are fucking up other people’s future as well.
But honestly I could be completely wrong - LLM prompt writers may become a big salary job and actually knowing anything will be passe and not necessary. I just don’t want to live in that world.
Trust your instincts. If it’s really easy to write LLM prompts and generate consistently useful quality output, then there’s no chance you’ll make a lot of money doing so. You won’t even make a little money doing so, because that work will be outsourced to another country with a lower minimum wage.
Of course that’s the point. The AI snake oil sales people want bosses to believe that they can underpay or fire employees, but we know that it doesn’t work that way, that all of these companies are just screwing about to make a little bit of money for either the shareholders or the bosses or both.
Is there a non-religious version of the Amish or something? That lifestyle seems more and more appealing,. This AI stuff really isn’t leading anywhere good.
this actually terrifies me.

Back in my school days we just copy assignments from a web that hosted usual school assignments from different places. “ElRinconDelVago” was called.
Teachers even had “ElRicon” detection mechanisms as they have now with LLMs.
Students always find the way to be lazy and cheese their way over homework.
