      There is no room here for your credulity. No, polls are not accurate. No, the Walmart tax dodge charity foundation is not “reputable.”

        Do you have an alternate source that proves your point, or is your entire argument “because I said so”? Whether something avoids taxes or not has little to do with its credibility, you’ll need stronger evidence than that.

        And I don’t know what you mean by “polls are not accurate.” Yeah, they’re unreliable for certain things (I.e. predicting election results) because people lie and change their minds, and elections are generally decided on a per-state basis, so just one or two “flipping” is enough to turn an election. They’re more reliable for other things, like tracking sentiment across a longer period of time.

        I certainly don’t buy the “6 hours saved per week” statement here (that’s self-reported and a small sample size), but I do buy that teachers are using AI more and more to assist w/ their work. Surveys can only tell you so much, and it’s important to not read too much into them, but that doesn’t mean they’re worthless or misleading.
