  Once these AI companies go belly-up, those people with critical thinking and research skills will be able to name their price.

  Those abilities have been in high demand for millenia. Focus on the basics.

    Probably not going to go belly-up, in a while, but the enshittification cycle still applies. At the moment, investors are pouring billions into the AI business, and as a result, companies can offer services for free while only gently nudging users towards the paid tiers.

    When the interest rates rise during the next recession, investors won’t have access to money any more. Then, the previously constant stream of money dries up, AI companies start cutting what the free tier has, and people start complaining about enshittification. During that period, the paid tiers also get restructured to squeeze more money out of the paying customers. That hasn’t happened yet, but eventually it will. Just keep an eye on those interest rates.

      Don’t be so sure about that, the numbers look incredibly bad for them in terms of money burned per actual revenue, never mind profit. They can’t even pay for the inference alone (never mind training, staff, rent,…) from the subscriptions.

  Thank fuck I graduated college decades ago…

  Actual education/teaching is under assault in the US from all sides these days… Not certain today’s students have any chance. 🙄 🤦‍♀️ 🖕 💩

    it is not just US… the VSE - Prague’s university of economics and business has decided to abandon graduation theses, because it is supposedly “impossible to verify” whether they were written by student or AI, and replaced them with “hands-on” graduation project)

      “hands-on” graduation project

      Does hand-on mean supervised?

      well how would you verify wether a thesis was written by AI? Mind that accusations are a serious matter, so “i guess it sorta looks like AI” or a percent number spat out by some unreliable LLM-detection AI isnt going to cut it

    i graduated just before the fuckery, and they were at the forefront of using software/weeding out software for jobs already. when i was HS, students already had given up on doing homework, and they were passing people with failing/D grades to graduation.

    It’s fine… I’m sure we’ll have UBI anytime now. We’ll have AI working on it.

    There are people who want to do their own thinking and those who don’t. The ratio hasn’t changed much over time. Only the possibilities.

  When I walk around in my uni people openly talk about using chatgpt to pass their classes. When I ask for help on some lecture groupchat first 4 answers are “I just used chatgpt.”

  I am honestly disappointed. They gave me a whole speech about how they take academic dishonesty so seriously but I am honestly just disappointed now.

    it has gotten so bad? no wonder my state uni have been complaining review sites about the schools lack of direction for its direction.

  “Hi, what version of chatgpt did you use in your surgical training? Great!”

  “You say the engineering team that designed this suspended walkway just used chatgpt during their training? Sounds good!”

  I kinda dont like ChatGPT because it trains everything you feed it into AI (goes the same with any LLM)

  source
• scarilog@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  I’m not supporting higher education becoming reliant on for-profit companies like this, but AI tutors and the like, if properly implemented, would be kinda awesome. For example, it’s not feasible to have a real life staff member on hand to answer student questions at all hours of the day. Especially at the more early years of university, where content is simpler, AI is more than capable of meeting this need.

  I don’t fully agree with most of the people on this thread. I also hate AI slop being forced into what feels like all aspects of our life right now, but LLMs do have some genuine uses.

    Yeah man for profit companies should be banned in higher ed also unrelated did you renew the license for your textbook?

    Just ask ChatGPT what this means, it will explain it to you like you’re five.
