As ironic as the situation stands, wherein a human created chatbot ‘still in its infancy’ now threatens human creativity, a latest incidence has jolted academics even more.
i definitely wouldn't trust an AI to write me a 15 page paper, but chatGPT has helped me a lot in the past few weeks with scaffolding tasks that would otherwise take me much longer... things like writing e-mails, scripts for phone calls, summarizing concepts from readings, finding connections between ideas or placing them in their context, generating discussion questions for classes, translating complicated ideas/theories to language that non-experts can understand, and more. it's a seriously impressive learning tool, and i'm gonna keep finding ways to use it to make being a burned out grad student slightly less awful
Besides that, it doesn't sound like writing 15 page papers is what it was designed for. Anyone that's used it more than a few times will probably realize that it does best when generating only a few paragraphs at a time, which it does in a noticeably quirked up, stiff, circular kind of way.
I don’t know how anyone can stand to read AI text. It’s all so rambling and full of shit.
Cool, it can generate a really shitty 15 page paper that has no actual thoughts, just quotes and reworded statements with lots of extra words.
damn AI can take the job of every manager I've ever had
Honestly, considering how most managers don’t do much aside from say “your metrics are looking (good or bad)
and Jordan Peterson
his nonsense you might have to go back a few generations of AI development to replicate
So you're saying that AI will reduce the value of education?

When I ask it to write something semi abstract so it just conspicuously reuses the exact wording of my request.
