AI tools like #ChatGPT will soon be capable of answering a large fraction of traditional university homework type questions with reasonable accuracy. In the long term, it seems futile to fight against this; perhaps what we as lecturers need to do is to move to an "open books, open AI" mode of examination where we give the students full access to AI tools but ask them more challenging questions, both to teach the material and also to teach the students how best to use the AI tools of the future.
@tao That significantly raises the bar on the qualification of college teachers. Basically they need to come up with creative problems that the Internet has never seen before.
@sqcai @tao Perhaps the answer is a flipped classroom? Ensure conceptual understanding through in-class Q&A, quizzes, and collaborative problem solving. Then, the bulk of instruction, along with project-based work, can be done at home open-resource.
