  • I’ve also found (I’m a teacher) this generation is far less proficient at search. They (generalisation) type a whole question into Google, and read the Google created text box to get their answer, taking it as gospel - regardless of if Google has completely gone off the mark.

    Contrast this to a generation that grew up with needing to refine search terms with key words, who can find far more relevant info quicker.

    It’s hard to get them out of the rut and teach them to be more critical of sources. They’re so used to having what they need served straight up for them. LLMs (AI) are feeding into this more - they struggle to believe that AI hallucinations exist until I show them.

    Again all this is generalisation - when I say ‘they’ I don’t mean ‘all’.
