NomNom‘I wish I could push ChatGPT off a cliff’: professors scramble to save critical thinking in an age of AI
paraphrandAs someone collaborating with faculty to produce higher education courses, even the professors are falling to the temptation of using AI to develop their curriculum and learning materials. And the results are across the spectrum from carefully considered to slop.
AI is a pretty great assistant if you already know how to do the thing it’s helping you with.
But it’s also great at looking like it’s coherent from a quick glance while being full of nonsense.
it feels unfair, that they can churn out what would take several hours to review in a couple minutes….
but then if you consider how expensive it is to humanity at large, it’s not cheap at all….
i think the punishment for slop should be greater than entirely plagiarizing something.
