Just need to get AI on that.
The only thing AI writing seems to be useful for is wasting real people’s time.
Terence Tao just did a thread on Mathstodon talking about jow ChatGPT help him program a algorithm for looking for numbers.
True -
- Write points/summary
- Have AI expand in many words
- Post
- Reader uses AI to generate summarize post preferably in points
- Profit??
I have to hand in a short report
I wrote parts of it and asked chatgpt for a conclusion.
So i read that, adjusted a few points. Added another couple points…
Then rewrote it all in my own wording. (Chatgpt gave me 10 lines out of 10 pages)
We are allowed to use chatgpt though. Because we would always have internet access for our job anyway. (Computer science)
I know a couple teachers (college level) that have caught several gpt papers over the summer. It’s a great cheating tool but as with all cheating in the past you still have to basically learn the material (at least for narrative papers) to proof gpt properly. It doesn’t get jargon right, it makes things up, it makes no attempt to adhere to reason when it’s making an argument.
Using translation tools is extra obvious—have a native speaker proof your paper if you attempt to use an AI translator on a paper for credit!!
it makes things up, it makes no attempt to adhere to reason when it’s making an argument.
It doesn’t hardly understand logic. I’m using it to generate content and it continuously will assert information in ways that don’t make sense, relate things that aren’t connected, and forget facts that don’t flow into the response.
Any teacher still issuing out of class homework or assignments is doing a disservice IMO.
Of coarse people will just GPT it… you need to get them off the computer and into an exam room.
Couldn’t you just ask ChapGPT whether it wrote something specific?
No. The model doesn’t have a record of everything it wrote.
We need to embrace AI written content fully. Language is just a protocol for communication. If AI can flesh out the “packets” for us nicely in a way that fits what the receiving humans need to understand the communication then that’s a major win. Now I can ask AI to write me a nice letter and prompt it with a short bulleted list of what I want to say. Boom! Done, and time is saved.
The professional writers who used to slave over a blank Word document are now obsolete, just like the slide rule “computers” of old (the people who could solve complicated mathematics and engineering problems on paper).
Teachers who thought a hand written report could be used to prove that “education” has happened are now realizing that the idea was a crutch (it was 25 years ago too when we could copy/paste Microsoft Encarta articles and use as our research papers).
The technology really just shows us that our language capabilities really are just a means to an end. If a better means asrises we should figure out how to maximize it.
Huh?
