everton137<a href="https://bvp.me/@bplein" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@bplein</a> Before generative AI, people had the same behavior with other sources of knowledge, like encyclopedias. I remember seeing kids just copy and paste the content of a Wikipedia article without checking their sources. But they were just kids, and it's fundamental to teach them how to use an encyclopedia, that it's just a starting point, and if you want to go deeper into a topic, you have to check reliable sources.I think the situation today is similar to your description. We have text generators that give convincing answers to the unwary, and those who haven't learned to question the sources of knowledge will accept LLM answers without any critical thinking. The same is true of encyclopedias, books, magazines, and any other sources of knowledge.The importance of critical thinking has never been as important as it is today, especially given how easy it is to create disinformation campaigns using generative AI.<a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/disinformation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disinformation</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ai</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#education</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/learning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#learning</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/wikipedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wikipedia</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/encyclopedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#encyclopedia</a>

Sunflower Björnskalle 🌻Hmm, you ever think about how if we're not maintaining knowledge that we're losing it is another example of the 2nd law of thermodynamics. It's just "entropy" again... the default state it to not know shit / not be good at shit... there's more ways to do that than to know it / be good at it.<a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#education</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/learning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#learning</a>

Dr Linda McIverIt’s important, when you’re making graphs, to think about the story you want to tell with the data, and what type of graph, and what features of the graph, will help you tell that story.Likewise, when you’re looking at someone else’s graph, we all need to apply that critical data literacy and look at the scale on the y axis, as well as checking the labels, finding out the origin of the data, and considering whether the graph is accurate, a valid way to display that data, and what story it might be trying to tell you.<a href="https://adsei.org/2025/04/10/scaling-scams/" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://adsei.org/2025/04/10/scaling-scams/</a>

Héctor The One And OnlyI can only speak for myself and my own experience in life. As a man, a gay man, a Puerto Rican man, a thinking man, and a Pagan man. To speak to the experiences of others would be disingenuous. But this doesn’t mean I don’t try to understand those other perspectives. I want to hear your music, the sound and flow of your language, eat your food, read your myths and folklore, and hear your stories.

Curtis McHaleSecond Opinions and Self-Deception We're swift to recognize when other people need to think again. We question the judgement of experts whenever we seek out a second opinion on a medical diagnosis. Unfortunately, when it comes to our knowledge and opinions, we often favor feeling right over being right.
