    I’d question the numbers. The two numbers in the title are about different things (yet lead to believe it saves those 60% the time…) And 60% of people owning an Alexa or talking to ChatGPT doesn’t mean they use it for their job… If anyone is willing to give them their email address, you could look at the actual report. I think the article is a bit misleading/clickbaity.

    And what’s with the mediabiasfactcheck score? Did they do any fact checks? Because I don’t see any. Or how do they jump to the conclusion it’s a credible source?

      I worked in high schools, middle schools, and elementary schools before I retired a few months ago. In my experience, it was easily over 60% of our work that relied on AI. We used it for lesson plans, activity planning, scheduling, meal plans (especially for students with dietary needs), presentation layouts, parent communications, fundraising letters, and even board meeting speeches. Every teacher and aide I worked with used AI regularly. (Obviously, we didn’t blindly use it without vetting/cross-checking. We used it more like a personal assistant. We still taught, graded, interacted, led, etc. personally)

      As for time saved, I’m not sure. Any time it saved was quickly taken up by other responsibilities. Honestly, I had to use AI just to finish all my assigned tasks each day. Even then, I still found myself working after school and at home.

      I’ve had a lot of jobs, but teaching was by far the hardest. I loved the kids, though, so it was worth it. Even though I’m retired now, I still miss them. I’m actually thinking about going back as a substitute teacher just because I miss everyone so much.

        I heard re-orienting after retirement isn’t always easy. I know people who did extracurricular activities or volunteer work after that. Like music teachers continuing with the orchestra or language teachers teaching refugee kids… Or they’re just happy they’re not part of the daily grind any more. Whatever floats your boat. I wish you can find something that makes you happy. I mean educating people should be appreciated and there is demand for that. Inside of school and aside from school itself.

        I have some teacher friends. Maybe I should ask them about AI and their co-workers. And gather some anecdotal evidence myself. I had assumed it’s far from being a majority of teachers who use AI. But that’s just what I got from our conversations.

          I heard re-orienting after retirement isn’t always easy.

          Way way harder than I thought. A month in I felt guilty about feeling weird. I mean, hey, I get a pension for rest of my life. I’m still young (early 50’s), fit and healthy. This should be awesome! I can shitpost on Lemmy all day!

          But ugh, I miss the kids, co-workers, etc. I have an active social life, but it’s not the same as having good solid co-workers going thru the trenches with ya. I have my own business now, so that’s relieved some of the weirdness of not working, so we’ll see.

          I would never in a million years thought being retired would feel weird. But yep, it’s strange till ya find your footing.

    Please stop posting bullshit from “LEFT-CENTER BIAS”. It’s completely subjective, liberal propaganda.

    For example, literally nobody on the left thinks that the NYTimes is a leftist publication. It’s literally a home of liberal fascism and a mouthpiece of empire. The NYTimes is just slightly to the left of Fox News but still overwhelmingly right-wing. Likewise for WaPo and the rest.

    The dumb bias websites are the overton window at its worst. Worthless disinfo. Give me a break.

    Yes, of course. Even I could create some fucking Website saying that this shit is factually True. From what I’ve heard the website quotes „someone using chatgpt” as „using chatgpt to help at work”.

    Don’t get me wrong, I hate .world, but for actual good reasons. It is very well known by now that many many publications are sucking off Sam altman. It is by now very well known that according to a study 70% of all AI answers are just wrong, so I think for this topic you should need to provide evidence that this website is actually NOT slop, because it sure looks like it is.
