The new way of learning

For about the last 50 years US schools have been in decline. This is demonstrated by the reading and writing skills, where twelfth grader students are at eighth grade levels. The search for the solution to these problems has abruptly come to an end with AI. Here is a report from a student. I was asked to write a 300 word essay on Beethoven’s Fifth and instructed the Chat GPT to do just that. When the essay was complete, I rewrote the first two paragraphs using my style and then instructed Chat to review what I had written and rewrite the rest of the essay using my style. While students still have to learn how to read, they can let AI do the writing. When it comes to math students no longer have to learn the old fashion way, they can use calculators to solve most everyday problems, such as interest rates and time value of money. It is mindful of a pill one can take to immediately play the piano instead of spending years practicing. I would gladly take such a pill. Will I receive the same satisfaction from playing as someone who learned the old way? Don’t know the answer to that but don’t care as long as I can play the piano.
