Hello /g/angstas, i need your based perspectives. If you were a university teacher, what would you do in this AI shitstorm? Do you embrace the AI matrix or totally discard it and return to monke? I have a feeling ludditemaxxing is a valid path, but I cannot deny that it has made searching for information 10x easier, making exams is fun again, gaining moar knowledge is easier if you position yourself for it... as long as you don't trust it completely. I'm talking about the free tier AIs. Am I missing something staying google-free? I know many use notebooklm but not sure how much of a difference that makes. Fundamentally, we saw with covid that being away from the physical classroom didn't work for students; the act of mentoring is protected by the Lindy effect, but the presence of AI is disrupting old methods. What are your thoughts?
>>108877380All you have to know is that AI is often wrong.
all goyim will be melted into biofuel
>>108877391yes, it makes wrong statements, kind of like how a teacher might make some and if you're attentive you can ask/call out the inconsistencies. It is easier if you're well versed in the topic at hand. Helps you understand better if that's why you're using the bot in the first place and if the knowledge you're looking at cannot be "sanitized", like core stem topics. I notice it often just spits wrong stuff when it comes to belief systems, ideas from people, authors, etc. >>108877394yet all biofuel is melted by goyim
>>108877380as a university professor, you are part of a group of people that are more qualified to perform research than anyone else on this planet. yet, you come and ask unemployed frog posters what to do
>>108877380I didn't read your whole post but I think the only way to test a student's knowledge anymore is to have them take tests on real paper in the classroom using pencil and paper, like we used to do 15+ years ago. Ok, now I read your whole post. As long as you can verify that what the machine spits out at you is correct, I don't see it as a bad thing. As a tech guy AI makes things that used to take half a day take 30 seconds. Idk, it gives me existential dread that it will simply replace me and make my degree useless, but at the same time it's so useful if you understand its weaknesses.
>>108878802>>108877380Still know some people in the university system from when I was IT there. Depends on the school, really. There are really three positions. Some of them are still stuck in 2021 trying to ban AI using stupid gimmicks like Anti-AI tools that don't work because they fail to realize students, AI, and professors are in an arms race.Some university professors are doing nothing about it and business as usual. Most of these are adjunct-cunts who teach for money rather than staff who teach and do research.Some university professors are just coming up with ways to accept AI. Some are using it to accelerate pace of knowledge transfer to the student. When you realize that a properly used AI can increase uptake and absorption of information by 30-100x the speed it would take you to research it yourself, you as the professor are basically having to up the difficulty of the class. The same thing happened to university students at the dawn of the internet in the 90s, and it accelerated and then exploded in the late 2000s. Before that, in the 80s-90s your average university student was getting their shit from whatever books and microfiche were on site or interlibrary loan, which meant uptake of usable, actionable information was horrendously slow (seriously look at a syllabus from a class taken in the 80's vs today). Then it sped up with the internet and easy access to articles and texts, and now AI can scan billions of references instantly. The students of today will have to run at a faster pace and if they don't use AI because of some moral scruple they're fucked because your classmate Jayden the geeked out, overcaffeinated whacko Gen Alpha will do it.
>>108878911>as the professor are basically having to up the difficulty of the classBahahaha you clearly have no clue what's going on at colleges nowadays. It is the other way around. Students don't take education seriously anymore because of how easy it is to find info online, so they force schools to lower difficulty or else everyone would fail and the school's student performance and outcome metrics would go to shit. This has been happening for decades and specially at the more famous places where, once in, you can spend the whole degree chilling and still pass and be seen as some elite ubersmench by the stacies at HR and hiring managers.Things have become such a joke that, for more saturated careers like software, you have to do a lot of shit on your own outside of school to stay competitive for the better oportunities, whereas in the past school was hard enough to take up all your time and mental power.It's the equivalent of highschoolers complaining and not taking math seriously because calculators exist but now happening across all levels and fields of education.
>>108877380It should get advertized, to students and everyone else, as a lossily compressed archive of the entire body of text produced by humanity. Sadly that doesn't make stocks go up, so everyone will have to learn the hard way that the magic computer people are retarded
>>108878513he isn't a professor, no prof writes like this:>return to monke>ludditemaxxing
>>108879258Not that I'm saying you should believe claims from a random anon, but do you think professors never banter with friends? A professor that uses 4chan would use those words on 4chan, though obviously not elsewhere
