[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kind of a bit of aside that is mentioned in the article, is that how the rise of Generative AI will make traditional academic skills even less important.

Linked to a study at Harvard where someone used ChatGPT 4 (paid version) to write a bunch of papers on different topics and then told the Harvard professors grading, that some of the papers were written by ChatGPT and others by qualified humans.

In reality, they were all written by ChatGPT.  Papers received mostly As.  Basically, the person would have received a 3.6 for the semester just having Chat GPT crank out the papers.[/quote]

And that doesn’t happen at every college in the country? And most, the vast majority of T30-300 are test optional.  Ha.  At least you can’t use chatgpt to take your standardized test, for now.  And studies show even extensive test prep will only raise test scores slightly.   Your 22 ACT isn’t going to be a 35-36 ACt which you need to get into an Ivy.  But a naturally smart poor kid could score that.  My kid did no test prep and scored a 35 the end of sophomore year…

Oh and we are dumbing down standardized tests too…each new iteration .. shorter and easier because of all the no attention span dummies in the country [/quote]

I don't get what point you are trying to make.[/quote]
