So schools would suddenly become rehab treatment centers ? What a freaking timeline.

Stupid. Kids are more informed and hooked into current events than ever before, specifically because of phones and the Internet. Hell, half of most peoples' jobs are looking up reference material online. You want kids to succeed, hand them a big list of the best places to look for the answers and let them use their phones on the test.

Even though it's easier to find information than like 30 years before, kids nowadays do NOT look for news or some other "sensible" information. They watch stupid TikTok videos and things like that (yes yes, there's always some exceptions). Smartphones has become a big problem in schools. You would know that if you followed the news.

See everyone, It's not just us Americans! The French are doing stupid things too!

It's a joke, don't write in.

The cover image for this piece smells AI generated

Eh, checking out the source (Drazen Zigic via Getty Images), he seems legit.

I suppose it is possible the submitter used AI uncredited, but I doubt it. For one thing, there are other images of the same models in the artist's page. Second, the state of AI image generation when this was submitted (June 2023) was pretty terrible for things like this.

More likely is that the image "looks like AI" to you because most image generation models were trained on Common Crawl, which includes at least tens of thousands of curated (royalty-free) images. In other words, AI models generate images that look like stock photos because that is what they know how to generate.
