My students are often surprised to learn that LLMs aren’t answering their questions. Rather, an LLM answers the question “what would a reply to this look like?” It’s one of the first things I explain in the “Should I use LLMs?” portion of my syllabus.
@mcnees I’ve been assigning this mini-course/explanation by Bergstrom and West to my students and it’s been helpful https://thebullshitmachines.com/index.html
Modern-Day Oracles or Bullshit Machines: Introduction

A free online humanities course about how to learn and work and thrive in an AI world.

@emilyh @mcnees This is great stuff. I'm going to assign this to any student that argues the "no AI in your assignments" rule.
@StuWatts @mcnees I wouldn’t say the site supports a total ban but your course your rules.
@emilyh @mcnees It's not a total ban, but when we ask them to not use it (e.g. when completing a quick research task in class), students sometimes push back.
