actually, this is the established model in the school system in Italy. Every year, every text book, a new edition. Little if any new content but certainly a new price. And this was before AI. Now it will just be turbocharged.

The only thing is that there are limits set by the ministry of education but the problem remains.

An AI written school textbook. So this is where we have come to. Can't say I'm surprised, though.

And then trees are cut down in order to make paper to print this shit on.

Otoh though, if the students didn't read this stuff from a book, they'd probably have AI explain it to them anyway, contributing to the negative environmental effects.

So, yeah, this is fucked no matter how you look at it.

In their small minds not having to read the output nor care about it is precisely what they offer.

They have no understanding of what they're doing. They're just industrialists optimising for mass production, and our social needs are in the way.
