Fuck AI

I'm a student, I've strictly removed myself from this fucked up story. I'll be it, in my CS class with about 125 student, I'll say 87℅ of them use chatGPT, probably even more. It's easy to see that almost everyone in the class cheats, I spend about 5 days on a project or lab, they spend only 1 day. Its not that they're good at CS, this is after all an "introductory" CS class, and at the moment were learning data structures. Everyone hates data structures, and the people I talked to said "yea I spent a day on the linked list lab and got 100" it is so rare for me to get a 100 in this class, and I spent 5 days on that lab.

I've completely removed myself from using chatGPT and other LLM's. for fuck sake, I'm using a query based search engine called marginalia search, because even the internet has been fucked with unreliable information.

I love it because now I don't have everything at my fingertips, I do have a few things with the search engine, but you have to conserve the words that you use and not everything will pop up. For example, You can't just search "how to concatinate numbers in c++" you need to say "string concatenation c++" since you're using too many keywords

Because of this, I've started checking out library books from my university, and what's so funny is that the books I checkout aren't due for months in advance because no one checks out books anymore. I got a book on C/C++ reference guide and it isn't due till January of next year.
