The fear that generative AI tools such as ChatGPT would lead to a generation of students cheating and plagiarizing work has come to pass. The situation is so bad that educators are now looking at multipe ways to stop the problem, or at least make the practice much more difficult. Ironically, one of them is to use AI.
He asks ChatGPT to help him develop work that would be difficult for students to complete by simply feeding it into a large language model.
*insert picard facepalm here*
That, while not as bad as what I expected from the summary (i.e. AI detection tools etc.), is still hypocritical.
This is the exact mindless use of AI yielding subpar results anyone can beat with a bit of practice.LLMs are not good at introspection, if you ask them what they struggle with they will go off of their datasets, focussed on the time before chatGPT, and summarise with the typical AI quality and deep understanding of the applicability of the known limitations to your text.
And all that when the actually correct answer is right there: ask the AI for solutions and learn what breaks it.
But that would take at least a few minutes of time, maybe even hours on the first attempts. Ain’t nobody got time for that, why learn useful skills for the future when you can just vibe out your ai-proofing?
