The really grim reality is that this is really not just about kids - there are countless adults, often adult *professionals*(doctors, lawyers, teachers(!)) that use ChatGPT this way. And I can understand why - there's no warning on the box! Few truly understand the tech's very real limitations.

Well this is grim
weird interaction with a student this week. they kept coming up with weird "facts" ("greek is actually a combination of four other languages") that left me baffled. i said let's look this stuff up together, and they said ok, i'll open a search bar, and they opened... ch*tgpt and i was like "this is not a search bar" and they were like "yes it is, you can search for anything in here" the thing that made me feel crazy is like. every kid that's using this as a browser is getting new BESPOKE false "facts." this isn't "a widespread misconception about X that stems from how it's taught in schools." each individual kid is now hooked into a Nonsense Machine with the "widespread misconception about X" you can start at a baseline. like, ok, in tenth grade we all talk about X thing from history, and that leaves us with some misguided concepts about X, but we can correct that as students get broader understandings of the world but with this, each child is getting UNIQUE wrong facts they are SURE are correct... because they did what we told them to do! they "looked it up"! they got it from somewhere! it's not a kid making up a belief on hearsay and assumption... it's something they think they LEARNED this kid was extremely combative with me, and i understood why. i was sitting in front of him and telling him that the internet, a computer, technology, all these supposedly authoritative things... were wrong. and that i, one person, was right. he basically *couldn't* believe me. 8 135 3.8K 97K ... stillorangecrushed @stilloranged. 7h he decided that i was simply a teacher who'd made a mistake. he could check it, after all! he could look it up! he could find the REAL facts. i obviously hadn't done that, i was just an adult who'd decided i was smarter than him. hence the defensiveness. like i said: i understood 5 760 3.2K 82K stillorangecrushed @stilloranged. 7h ... it was so fucking rough. i did my best, but i am one person trying to work against a campaign of misinformation so vast that it fucking terrifies me. this kid is being set up for a life lived entirely inside the hall of mirrors

Over the past two weeks, I presented my master’s thesis work from IBEB at:
✨ Nov 22: 8th RedeSaúde Conference – poster session + 1-min pitch.
✨ Nov 26: 6th Mind-Brain College Meeting, ULisboa – poster session + 5-min pitch.
🚀 Grateful for the chance to share my research and gain valuable feedback!

Ah yes, more shameless self-promotion! My first, 1st-author paper about ✨air pollution✨ is on bioRxiv, showing some widespread changes in adolescent cortical neurite density related to outdoor air pollution exposure, specifically from biomass burning #DevSci #compneuro
