[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This reminds me of when the Internet came to be, and teachers were adamant that we only use texts as sources. I think professors need to get with it. There is now AI, students should be using it to the best of their abilities.

Professors who are psychotically trying to monitor AI? It’s stupid. AI is here, and the students who use it well will succeed. Who cares if they wrote their paper with AI, if they did a great job. They did a great job.[/quote]

I've read AI papers, and no, they don't do a great job.  But if it's good enough for my students then maybe it should be good enough for me.  Anyone here who is paying tuition have a problem if I just let AI grade and provide feedback for me?  Because if it does a great job then it should be good enough, right?  I don't actually need to read anything that way, so it would make me more efficient.  And it would certainly make me less "psychotic."  Do we have a deal, then?[/quote]

There are many college professors that have written editorials about how AI produces great work on even esoteric topics.

It’s interesting how everyone on DCUM claims it sucks, but the people willing to put their name to something claim it produces great work.

I don’t think they are getting paid by Open AI?[/quote]

No, but it does need to be noted that they come from academic _disciplines_ and subfields that can be served by the capacities of AI.  My discipline currently cannot.  Maybe someday, but we will be low-priority for the kind of specialized training that the models will require.  Until we can _really_ train them ourselves, robustly, on a near-end-user level, these LLMs will be of little use in my field.[/quote]
