   That ID is still successful as bait should should be enough evidence   
   that the current generation of "adults" responsible for the education of   
   the next generation are pretty badly off in terms of honest, integrity,   
   and competency.   
      
   Apparently the generation currently being educated uses AI in order to   
   stop thinking.  Are they really getting away with Chatbots doing their   
   homework?  How many different summaries does an AI give for a particular   
   question?  Do teachers need to be able to run seaches of Chatbot answers   
   to detect stupid and dishonest students?  My guess is that students will   
   be required to turn in their essays and short answers on memory sticks   
   so that the teacher can easily load them into a search program.   
      
   Apparently this generation is even using AI to make decisions on what   
   junk food to ingest.  This article claims that 70% of teens use AI   
   companions and half use them regularly.  ChatGPT and Claude are usually   
   used to answer questions, but they are also being used as AI companions   
   that teens have conversations with.   
      
   This seems nuts, but IDiocy and the scientific creationism that came   
   before it have always depended on the rubes wanting to be told the   
   answers.  AI is just another source for answers, and we likely have to   
   start a program to determine what quailty of answers these people are   
   getting.  ID perps and the Scientific Creationists before them were   
   never a good source for answers, and neither were the religious leaders   
   that believed the junk.
