CBS News investigated this firsthand by observing and asking what the students across various age groups were learning and what they thought of it, at a school district in Gwinnett County, Georgia. AI integration was being taught to students as early as Kindergarten. CBS claims that the AI is “winning over students, parents, and teachers.”
At Patrick Elementary School in the town of Buford, CBS’ Christiana Ruffini interacted with Kindergarten students learning how to write computer code, and program LEGOs with integrated motors and sensors with the help of AI.
One six-year-old said, “I like that we can build stuff, and do stuff we haven’t done before,” she told Ruffini.
AI is such a popular buzzword right now, but we’ve actually been doing this for a couple of years. For us it’s thinking about: what do our kids need to know and do to be ready for their future? We’re not, like, always messing with a robot. But what we are doing is teaching them how to think and solve problems with these tools.
We lead with ethical conversations about AI. Just because we can maybe doesn’t mean that we should.
I think that really opens the door to kind of let them choose the problems that they want to explore, and then hopefully lays the foundation for where they’re heading and the things they’re going to encounter in the real world.
Sallie Holloway, the director of AI and computer science for the Gwinnett County district, said
At Seckinger High School, art class asked students to draw a sketch, then enter a description of the sketch into an AI image generator, and then prompting the students to discuss if the AI influenced them to reimagine their original design. Some students found it helpful and others did not, but most of them seem to agree that it’s not real art and lacks the physical element.
One student commented, “Overall, it didn’t really help with what I wanted or what I was looking for.” Another pupil added, “Using AI, sometimes it helps me. Sometimes it’s chaos. Other times actually, it comes up with a couple of things that I can use, like certain angles of the head.”
AI is just taking everyone’s work and just collaging it together. Technically, not original.

At the same school, social studies teacher Scott Gaffney also demonstrated how he is integrating AI in the classroom. He incorporates ChatGPT and has students ask it to ‘analyze years of traffic data, then use the findings to help come up with solutions for safer roads,’ CBS says.
When asked if he feels AI will be used to help students to cheat, Gaffney said,
When I was in high school, there was this thing that came out, that everyone was really upset about, called Google! And they thought that that was just going to really ruin education. And it hasn’t.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
The arrogance and chagrin of Mr. Gaffney further demonstrates why the American “education” system has been dead for a very longtime. Google and other search engines alone have vastly changed the school system, definitely for the worse. I remember when I was in Elementary school and how I was apart of the first wave that was getting access to a computer and navigating the internet, at a time when so many people in my suburban area did not even have a personal computer yet, let alone how to use one. When Google became a mainstay, especially when we all started getting laptops, tablets, and smart phones, it was game over.
The internet has eliminated the need for the traditional classroom setting. Most basic and advanced learning can be achieved and accomplished by simply looking them up. So, yes, Google has vastly changed the structure and truly outmoded it by leaps and bounds.
AI, at the pace that it is growing and intruding into everything, will replace the necessity to have any real skill and knowledge in anything. That is the fever dream of these elites and technocratic fools, in their little satanic utopia, where “You’ll own nothing and be happy.”
But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
Daniel 12:4
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Just so sad! Moron parents sending kids to their demise without hope of anything: that’s what happens when ya take God out of everything.
