  • I always saw the rules against Wikipedia to be around citations (and accuracy in the early years), rather than it harming learning. It’s not that different from other tertiary sources like textbooks or encyclopedias. It’s good for learning a topic and the interacting pieces, but you need to then search for primary/secondary sources relevant to the topic you are writing about.

    Generative AI however

    • is a text prediction engine that often generates made up info, and then students learn things wrong
    • does the writing for the students, so they don’t actually have to read or understand anything

  • Yup, it looks like generative AI + image editing after the fact

    Image generators have trouble juggling multiple colors and patterns on clothing. It would be a weird stylistic choice to create that effect with image edits alone

    Also if you look closely, she has 3 arms. Two arms holding the phone up, one arm holding a soccer ball against her body?

    I wonder how it would do as a media center for the living room. I’d much rather use a Wii remote to navigate on a TV instead of buttons.

    Being able to play Jellyfin off of it somehow would be amazing, I imagine it will need a custom app. Possibly based off of this thing? https://www.wiimc.org/about/
