I seriously hate how pretty much every tech company is so utterly obsessed with putting generative AI in as much as their stuff as possible and then constantly begging you to use it, who the hell are these shareholders who demand this crap and what are their addresses so I can egg their homes
(turns out scratch isn’t adding generative script/project making, but my point still stands)
I don’t have much of a problem with non-generative AI as that is often quite useful, and has existed for a while now
Yay! New scratch upda—
AI? Really? AI? They want to inspire creativity and they are including AI? How on earth will AI help kids create? If anything, it will stop the learning process because, instead of creating art or code that is creative and requires skill, kids will just write a prompt.
in case you missed it
a new position on the scratch foundation’s website went up recently, and the job description confirms that scratch 4.0 is in development. says it’ll feature a “re-imagined online community and creative ai”… whatever that means
no word of a release date, but that’s understandable. i’m actually kind of excited for this, i feel like scratch’s online community hasn’t been working super well recently so hopefully this’ll fix some of those issues. as for the ai thing… please no. so many things can go wrong with that…
