  My girlfriend is a kindergarten teacher and she will attest that over the past years she could clearly see the decline in students&apos; ability to think, act, and test so its definite a real thing that is happening. In my opinion after listening to her anecdotes, even if we as a society immediately implement changes these kids already have such a shaky foundation that these changes won&apos;t even be noticeable for a few years. Its one of those things that kids have just been failed by unchecked phones and unlimited access to AI in school. I know that sounds like I am a boomer (I sadly do not own a house so I can&apos;t say I am boomer), but I even feel my shortcomings in this area. I used AI consistently when it came out as I was learning foundational things in my career and it is already showing its fruit. I am now having to go back and learn the foundational things because as I&apos;ve progressed my foundation was shaky that when I got into those more technical conversations I wouldn&apos;t be able to keep up and I make critical novice errors. If you apply my situation backwards on these kids and you assume that I have the median ability to think and act, at least half of the younger generations are going to experience this feeling on such a more significant level because they are working on the basic foundation. This doesn&apos;t even factor in effectively unlimited time on screens by parents that can&apos;t or don&apos;t want to spend time with their kids. Nor does this thought process consider social media health effects on teens, brainless content, and endless scrolling, but I think it shows that it really is a real problem. Anything that stops us from engaging our brain is going to affect our ability to think or problem solve, and it&apos;s only going to affect those that are working on the foundations everything.<br><br>The more I think about it. Its just sad. I think it was highlighted earlier in the podcast: kids just want the candy, they don&apos;t know what is good or bad for them. To them too, the unlimited dopamine scroll (either AI slop or not doesn&apos;t matter) and AI to solve every potentially hard task in front of them is that candy. I think we should expect for the kids to eat the candy as much as they want. It&apos;s not just an AI thing in my opinion (though that does exacerbate the issue); it really is that we as a society don&apos;t give kids the foundation they need to succeed. I could keep rambling about this, but man its just sad.<br><br>We&apos;ll figure out soon though how much Covid actually affected kids. The last generation of Covid kids entering the school system as kindergarteners now if my math is correct.
