>self-internalized colonization

Basically, yes.

Paradoxically, Pakistanis will become defensive regarding Urdu at times (they will argue that it isn't the same as Hindi, even though linguists would sayb they are essentially the same language, at least in colloquial usage. edit: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindi%E2%80%93Urdu_controversy)

I believe this is an "English Medium School", but I put that in quotes for a reason. There are two types of English Medium Schools in Pakistan.

The first is a true English Medium School, where people become fluent in English. This is where people working at multi national companies would send their kids for school. The elite classes of Pakistan would also send their kids to these types of schools.

The second are, by name, also English Medium Schools, but cater to the local population who want their kids to know English (due to global mobility). The problem is that most of these schools don't have teachers who are fluent in English themselves. This, coupled with a legacy of colonialism, makes people feel they are "superior" for knowing English, and that those who only know Urdu are "ignorant". The irony is that they themselves really don't know much English, or can perhaps only read or write English.

The school in question appears to be in the second category.

Paradoxically, Pakistanis are very defensive regarding Urdu (they will often say it is "not the same as Hindi" even though linguists themselves say the two are essentially the same language).

Problems? Solution!

We COULD just require that all artistry done within the bounds of the state require a license to legally be allowed. Just block all unlicensed artists from being allowed to produce anything that could be considered "art". The government won't go handing out licenses to any AI, nor will they hand out licenses to create art to anyone who would attempt to subvert the system or go against established norms that the government bar association enforces. Regulate the personal lives of the artists so that they do not besmirch the profession, and if they do, strip them of their livelihood.

You see a problem with the unfairness? I see a solution by just applying the same strict rules to everyone!

I’ve been playing with AI to assist in my legal work lately. It fucks up a lot. It will provide claims that cannot be substantiated. I’ll request the source for something that is solely untrue and the source will say something completely different. The technology is absolutely not there but people think it is because it spits out something that looks good and like it might be true. It can’t interpret things, and that’s a big and important gap
