Jason KoeblerI talked to 15 teachers/professors about how AI and ChatGPT is ruining their lives:
Violet MadderNah. Being understaffed, overworked and underpaid in a dehumanizing system is ruining their lives-- botshit is just ONE piece of this unsustainable dystopian nightmare.
Cluster Fcku@jasonkoebler "AI is the future so you must incorporate it into your classroom" is a manifestation of the problem: it is being pushed where it is not needed. Many decades ago the same was said about computers, then internet, then mobile devices. What all these pushes have in common is that they come from corporate interests. Unless the class is specifically about learning a technology, that technology is just a distraction from skills taught and evaluated. These serve profits, not education.
Dweebish@clusterfcku @jasonkoebler Yes, exactly.
Julie@jasonkoebler this reflects my experience too. I teach mathematics. Many of the quotes here come from humanities teachers, who are sad that the students are losing the ability to express a personal opinion (as well as use evidence and the like). I am sad that my students see no difference between the pattern matching of a LLM and a logically constructed argument.
Crystal Huff (they/them)I'm a grad student and really pissed at how AI is impacting my experience at school. Last semester, I had to clean up unforced errors in a group final project because one of my classmates used AI for their entire contribution. It was a messssssss. 😬😬😬
FredricT 😷💉🌻🌈@crystalvisits @jasonkoebler @pluralistic Learning how to clean up AI mess may be the most useful skill you'll learn at school 😅
@FredricT noooooooo ðŸ˜

So, LLM changes a lot. But it's still around. It's important to know how to use LLMs, understand their limits and risks. Maybe LLMs should be included in the official education curriculum.

Bill, organizer of stuff@mni @jasonkoebler Counterpoint: No, they shouldn't.
Saying LLMs should be incorporated into the education curriculum in any way other than to explain why not to use it is like saying we should incorporate crystal meth production into the curriculum because it's a big market and a lot of them will just build their own labs anyway.
