When things are easy, you’re going to take the easy path even if it means quality goes down. It’s about trade offs. If you had to do it yourself, perhaps quality would have been higher because you had no other choice.

Lots of kids don’t want to do homework. That said, previously many would because there wasn’t another choice. But now they can just ask ChatGPT for the answers they’ll write that down verbatim with zero learning taking place.

Caring isn’t a binary thing or works in isolation.

"Lots of kids don’t want to do homework"

That's a lawyer in an adverserial situation. Business consultants tell their clients what they want to believe, the facts be dammed.
