      Maybe. I like coming up with ways to explain things, but I don’t like children, so unless they pay me to host a YouTube channel… tough luck.

        And you think that teaching kids to use ChatGPT to figure out how to fix a broken fence gate, rather than, I dunno, teaching them Woodshop, is a good use of teachers’ time?

          Which one do you think they’re more likely to have 24/7 in their pocket: an AI assistant on a smartphone, or a chisel?

          Even today, the number of people with a multi-tool or a screwdriver, are much fewer than those with a smartphone. Show them a flint and striker, and they look at you like some doomsday prepper nutjob.
