Make school fun and not a prison and then kids don't need phones like their office worker parents do.

I can't believe it wasn't like that since the beginning.
How is it not one of the many distracting things they would ban immediately?

The cover image for this piece smells AI generated

I suppose it is possible the submitter used AI uncredited, but I doubt it. For one thing, there are other images of the same models in the artist's page. Second, the state of AI image generation when this was submitted (June 2023) was pretty terrible for things like this.

More likely is that the image "looks like AI" to you because most image generation models were trained on Common Crawl, which includes at least tens of thousands of curated (royalty-free) images. In other words, AI models generate images that look like stock photos because that is what they know how to generate.

Eh, checking out the source (Drazen Zigic via Getty Images), he seems legit.
