Matthias OttWhat is it with teachers that they still don’t allow Wikipedia as a source but happily let students cite ChatGPT et al. – “just make sure to also include the prompt in the citation.“
… what?!?!? 🤨😂
rem@matthiasott …w…wow. That's…a mind boggler right there.
@rem A few days ago, a boy from my son‘s class gave a presentation about “fake news and how to spot AI-generated media.” Of course, the presentation was AI-generated. 😂 Education is dead. 🤪
@matthiasott **actual LOL**
Dieu@matthiasott Probably symptomatic of the system school as a whole. The truth isn't that important, it's all about following the rules.
Nils Hörrmann@matthiasott So footnotes will be like "1) ChatGPT et al.: "Pretend to be a 7th grade student good at physics, write a quotation validating my thoughts about gravity not existing", prompted June 24th 2026 1:29pm" – hilarious! 🤣 I must say if teachers think this is fine, I doubt they were ever good teachers.
Torb@matthiasott How do they think it makes sense to cite a source that is unstable and non-deterministic?
Bastian Allgeier@matthiasott A teacher at our son's school told us that the kids don't even bother anymore to read the results of their prompts and hand in homework and presentations with the typical "can I help you with something else?" or "Should I rephrase this for you" artefacts. It's pretty grim.
