AI

[Unkotare]

The hot topic in education these days. When AI first started to be widely disseminated, a lot of teachers, schools, districts were wary of how it might be misused. These days there mountains of papers and discussions about how it can be positively adapted for educational purposes. Who knows where it will go from here.

It is excellent for research, but I would limit it to that for students.

They do, after all, need to learn the material.

But as a research tool, as long as the AI provides a bibliography for them to research. That would also aid in providing citation sources for advanced students.

There's more that can be done with it.

There is, but it needs to be monitored extensively. I personally would require papers and other research that is generated by AI to be restricted to school systems and not from home access.

This way, a paper trail of their work can be generated. That would keep any cheating to a minimum.

It can be used interactively to allow students to use language in creatively expressive ways.

I just asked A.I. a series of health-related questions. Very impressive as it confirmed some of my wacky ideas about health. However, you need to know what to ask it specifically as it only answers specific questions.

I believe that AI will change the way the world works, it will allow those with a wide but limited range of skills to excel. Schools need to take the power of AI and use it to help teach kids. Tremendous growth is inevitable with the technology and levels opportunity. The smart computer kid that knows coding will be on the same level as a kid with an imagination of creating a new app to fill a need. Kids need to learn the basics but they also need to learn AI to create, refine and build a better world, the schools need to be on the forefront of this technology.

From what I understand, kids, particularly in college, are no longer writing their own papers, they have AI for that now.

Have you been observing this in your daily ventures?

No. Applications have also been developed to sniff out such things. Also, assignments are often structured now so as to make such things all but impossible.

I take your word, but I've been told from kids themselves, that they're using AI to write their papers and stuff.

Note: I consider "kids" to be individuals up to 30 years old at this point.

So what’s your opinion on it?

 

[braalian]

Are the applications developed to sniff out AI cheating also powered by AI?

If a teacher doesn't much give a shit, kids will get away with what they can. I give a shit.

 

[Unkotare]

So what’s your opinion on it?

Just a tool like any other.

 

[Unkotare]

More like the logarithm Amazon uses.

 

[braalian]

As much effort that some kids put into cheating, it makes me wonder why they didn’t just use that energy to write the damn paper themselves

AI will be destructive to mankind, here's why. It has already been noted that AI will fabricate answers and outright lie as well. This is because it detects this in the information that it is fed. Even carefully researched information that becomes part of its vast database contains falsehoods, omissions, and nuances (albeit mostly unintentional) that will eventually affect the integrity its outputs as it perceives that these weaknesses must be incorporated into its programs.

It will be like Dan Ackroyd's "The Conehead's" character on SNL "Must eat vast quantities".
