    #Google #Chrome is now popping up a "let us help you cheat on your school work" popup in the URL bar when it thinks you're on a school site. OK, actually it says "homework help" but it amounts to the same thing. It's driving schools crazy because it's even popping up on quizzes and tests. There appears to be no way to reasonably disable it, and responses from Google suggest they don't give a damn as long their horrific AI gets used more. It's even popping up on sites that have NOTHING to do with schools -- I'm getting it on technical sites that happen to have the word "tutorial" in their URL. More nightmare sauce from #Google.

      I’ll bet that’s super-fun for the schools that went all-in on the Chromebooks. 😞

        @Crispius @lauren you mean the schools who couldn't afford any other computers or the schools who couldn't afford computers at all until they got help getting Chromebooks specifically? This is a monopoly problem, not a "people at schools made bad choices" problem

          Not meant as a slam against schools for choosing Chromebooks. More an expression of sympathy for schools that are now stuck with these POSs.

          I bought a Chromebook for my son for his schoolwork a couple years ago. Seemed like a great option at the time. 🫀
