Oh god. And this was mostly used against kids.
I asked Chatty for a TL;DR:
I think you went a bit too far. Most of this is also only accurate for the US.

I think the actual risk takeaway from this is that you wrote a giant fucking wall of text that essentially boiled down to, "I think AI is fine I think that academia is terrible".
You might have said some other stuff but as I said, it's a wall of text, so if you had some good points to make it was lost in the unnecessary voburs wall of self-flattering.
You are mistaking ability to read with desire to read.
I skimmed it and it mostly was just your rambling opinion about the education system in presumably the United States because it didn't match up with my comprehension of it in general. So I really appreciated the person who generated the summary thus preventing me from having to read the whole thing.
It was especially appreciated because it subsequently turned out that your entire post was essentially irrelevant to what we were talking about. Hence by the way the downvotes.
I've tried for hours, but I can't figure out where you got these numbers. I can mostly find sources implying that far more people admit to engaging in cheating, not to mention sources which imply more people engage in cheating than those who admit to it, and sources that imply that the figures for cheating vary based on many factors even within places of learning, and vary based on what kind of cheating you're talking about. Perhaps I'm just in a filter bubble. Can you tell me where you got these numbers?
