      It’s insane talking to people that don’t do math.

      You ask them any mundane question and they just shrug, and if you press them they pull out their phone to check.

      It’s important that we do math so that we develop a sense of numeracy. By the same token it’s important that we write because it teaches us to organize our thoughts and communicate.

      These tools will destroy the quality of education for the students that need it the most if we don’t figure out how to reign in their use.

      If you want to plug your quarterly data into GPT to generate a projection report I couldn’t care less. But for your 8th grade paper on black holes, write it your damn self.
