Dave Eggers tells OpenAI they're silencing an entire generation
author dave eggers told 200 openai staff that chatgpt silences students by stealing their voices, warning that reliance on ai prevents learning to write.
author dave eggers accepted sam altman's invitation to speak to roughly 200 openai employees but used the platform to criticize the company's impact on education. eggers argued that chatgpt makes teachers' lives infinitely more difficult and constitutes a 'tragedy' because students using the tool to compose will never learn to write or express their own truths. the author, who previously labeled ai writing 'pastiche nonsense,' framed the technology as an existential threat to student agency that 'silences an entire generation'.
