One thing I find endlessly funny about the rise of AI is that it has revealed that there is a large number of people who believe that the reason they wrote essays at school or university is their teachers were desperately waiting for them to provide a definite answer to “Lear: what’s up with him?”

I feel like panicking and I was not in control of this situation and I could see at least ten instances now where I’d made wrong decisions and being in control of the situation was really important because otherwise it was in control of me

(That’s an incredible oversimplification of something with fascinating legal history. But in about half the provinces, your provincial taxes are directed by your choice to a main school board or a separate board. Generally that is the Catholic board.)

They are publicly funded throughout Canada, although the implementation and quantum varies by province: secular (public) school and a Catholic school, but both public schools by funding. It’s constitutionally protected, tied to bilingualism.

""If you give a man a fish, he will eat for a day; if you
teach a man to fish, he will eat for a lifetime," but
you have done neither. You have stood before us and
eaten fish after fish, and chided us for our greed as
you have done so. You have cast aside their offal and
simultaneously chided us for our waste. You then
told us that, coincidentally, you owned the river, and
our parents should have gotten us the same if we
wanted fish. You gave a man a fish to murder us if
we step too close to the river, or speak too loud, or
eat a fish from another river. You've copyrighted the
fishing net. It costs us fish to leave."

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful
