It’s not normal for a teacher to get angry. Those people should be replaced by good teachers, not by a nicely-lying-to-you-bot. It’s not a jab at you, of course, but at the system.
Comment on AI is rotting your brain and making you stupid
SpicyColdFartChamber@lemm.ee 4 weeks agoI have difficulty learning, but using AI has helped quite a lot. It’s like a teacher who will never get angry, doesn’t matter how dumb your question is or how many time you ask it.
Mind you, I am not in school and I understand hallucinations, but having someone who’s this understanding in a discourse helps immensely.
It’s a wonderful tool for learning, especially for those who can’t follow the normal pacing. :)

I agree, I’ve been traumatized by the system. Whatever I’ve learnt that’s been useful to me has happened through the internet, give or take a few good teachers.
I still think it’s a good auxiliary tool. If you understand its constraints, it’s useful.
It’s just really unfortunate that it’s a for profit tool that will be used to try and replace us all.

Yeah, same. I have to learn now to learn in spite of all the old disillusioned creatures that hated their lives almost as much as they hated students.
And yet, I’m afraid learning from chatbots might be even worse.SpicyColdFartChamber@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
Learning how to learn is so important. I only learned that as an adult.

The problem is if it’s wrong, you have no way to know without double checking everything it says
Grimtuck@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Too be fair, this can also be said of teachers. It’s important to recognise that AI’s are as accurate as any single source and should always check everything yourself. I have concerns over a future where our only available sources are through AI.

The level of psychopathy required from a human to be as blatant at lying as an llm is almost unachievable

Bruh so much of our lives is made up of people lying, either intentionally or unintentionally via spreading misinformation.
I remember being in 5th grade and my science teacher in a public school was teaching the “theory” of evolution but then she mentioned there are “other theories like intelligent design”
She wasn’t doing it to be malicious, just a brainwashed idiot.

Its not a bit deal if you aren’t completely stupid, I don’t use LLMs to learn topics I know nothing about, but I do use them to assist me in figuring out solutions to things I’m somewhat familiar with. In my case I find it easy catch incorrect info, and even if I don’t catch it most of the time if you just occasionally tell it to double check what it said it self corrects.
Nalivai@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
It is a big deal. There is thr whole set of ways humans can gauge validity of the info, that are perpendicular to the way we interact with fancy autocomplete.
Every single word might be false, with no pattern to it. So if you can and do check it, you just wasting your time and humanity’s resources instead of finding the info yourself in the first place. If you don’t, or if you think you do, it’s even worse, you are being fed lies and believe them extra hard.
SpicyColdFartChamber@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
I understand that. I am careful to not use it as my main teaching source, rather a supplement. It’s helps when I want to dive into the root cause of something, which I then double check with real sources.
Nalivai@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
But like why not go to the real sorces directly in the first place? Why add unnecessary layer that doesn’t really add anything?
SpicyColdFartChamber@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
I do go to the real source first. But sometimes, I just need a very simple explanation before I can dive deep into the topic.
My brain sucks, I give up very easily if I don’t understand something. (This has been true since way before short form content and internet)
