  It’s good that students are using ai to cheat then. Very easy to detect as the answers are wrong.

    Did you grow up using AI? Because your reading comprehension is dogshit

      Nah I grew up with the “you won’t always have a calculator in your pocket” crowd.

      If AI gets everything wrong then students using it to offload their thinking will get failing grades. AI getting everything wrong is a self solving problem.

        I didn’t really say AI bad, though I think it is. But it’s objectively different. A calculator is designed so that when you punch in 2+2 it return 4 every single time, because that’s how it functions.

        If you ask AI the same question twice you get 2 answers, different AIs give different responses, different prompts, different people, different geography.

        It may be able to consistently regurgitate mostly correct answers to fairly uncontroversial common questions. Things we might call “facts”, things that largely have that information available freely in the world anyway.

        As soon as we’re talking about subjectivity, writing essays and supporting arguments etc, you’re taking your life in your hands trusting AI with that kind of answer.

        But largely this stuff is besides the point.
