All good. Maybe just be a bit more specific next time so it doesn’t sound like you’re saying “(((minorities)))”

You could be right but I’d rather let 'em answer the question for themself.

which ones?

Holy shit, thank you, finally someone in this thread is still living in the same reality as I am.

I gave her the standard score because, even though she failed the task, she tried really hard to read out all those difficult words and I thought that was probably more work than anyone else had done.

That is a tragic indictment on the state of your class. You are failing your students by refusing to give them failing marks for this shit.

• Require students to cite their sources

• Require students to show their working

• Ask students questions related to the process of a given task during class

• For things like media analysis, require them to do it with a pencil and paper without the use of computers where possible

• Treat the use of LLMs as an act of academic plagiarism

All of these are things that schools should already be doing holy shit

Holy fuck, we are so cooked.

This is such a concavebrained take. The point of exercises handed out in schools isn’t the accomplishment of the set tasks; it’s that students internalise the processes necessary to do the task themselves and thereby learn those skills.

Thus, giving away a task to a LLM is only “using their imagination on how to constructively solve [the] problem, utilising a tool in their imaginary bag” in the same way that bullying a nerd into doing the work for them used to be.

I think it’s changing the traditional paradigm. Maybe for the better, maybe not. Time will tell. I think ChatGPT is a tool in its infancy. It’s changing the way minds think fundamentally like for isntance critical thinking skills decline by relying on “AI” but it frees up the mind to grow in other ways to adjust to the new paradigm.

This is so obviously for the worse. Losing the ability to think critically isn’t “freeing up the mind to grow in other ways:” basic critical thought is a foundational prerequisite to fully developing as a person capable of participating in society in the current age in much the same way as basic literacy is. It’s limiting the mind from growing in any meaningful way.

And don’t get it twisted, you’re just saying this shit to be contrarian. I doubt you actually believe this development could be a good thing. Like come the fuck on, let’s say in ten years’ time you get into some kinda accident and need surgery. There is no way you’d would want your surgeon to be someone who ‘did’ most of their assessments in med school with a fucking chatbot. Who are you kidding???

You’re absolutely right, somebody totally could do that (instances that don’t respect post/reply deletion requests are already a known issue), and there’s very little you could do about that sort of thing once it’s already happened.
