[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd like to go back to the days of these complaints.  Many of my students are having grammarly essentially write their work, and they don't even realize it because they think that using grammarly is just a "help," and, therefore, not even question whether this is their writing. They all sound like generic scholarly essays that are full of hot air because they don't really read the assignments well enough either! I've had to contact so many, [b]freak them out with AI plagiarism talk[/b] and get them to roll it back. Almost grateful to see misspellings because they are an indication that the work is authentic.

As for content, I make it clear from the beginning that points are earned by utilizing info from the readings.  It's in the prompt and the rubric. So, no need to chide there.

I think with today's students,  this email will just antagonize them, sadly. And some will catch that possessive/plural error.[/quote]

You do realize that everyone needs to adapt to generative AI, yes?  [b]My kid is at a top school[/b] and 1/2 his classes REQUIRE use of ChatGPT and 1/2 are old school professors.  My kid assures me that probably by next year 100% of classes will use chatGPT in some fashion because the working world demands it.

There was an article in the WSJ today that nearly every MBA program is now incorporating chatGPT into their curricula.  Basically, they are telling students to use chatGPT to write "boiler plate" parts of a business plan and then student reviews and edits, and take original ideas and feed it into chatGPT and let it help fill in the blanks and make the thoughts punchier more concise.

Name it. [/quote]
+1. Mine at a T10 and does not use AI. At least not for writing based classes.[/quote]

My kid is at Wharton.  AI is essential for 1/2 the classes. [/quote]

AI is a flash in the pan. I'm in the business world. It's already fizzling out.

The problem with generativeAi is nothing it produces sounds genuine and sometimes it hallucinates.

Besides, I want AI to take care of tasks like dishes and laundry so I can write more. I don't want it to write so that I have more time to do dishes and laundry. That's the fundamental flaw in the value prop and why it's ultimately going to be abandoned in the corporate world.

I'm in a big corporate -- 50 billion in global revenues -- and already see this.[/quote]

Dude, you are completely making up your post.  Here is the Point72 chairman from yesterday on AI:

The Point72 founder told CNBC’s Andrew Ross Sorkin on “Squawk Box” that his financial firm has found ways for even the early AI models to save the company money.

“I’ll give you one little anecdote. My CTO comes to me and says I can save the firm $25 million by using these LLMs to improve our efficiency,” Cohen said, referencing his chief technology officer and the large language models like ChatGPT.

You don't even understand what Generative AI can do.  Here is another tidbit regarding Tyler Perry and opening his film ventures in Atlanta:

Over the past four years, Tyler Perry had been planning an $800 million expansion of his studio in Atlanta, which would have added 12 soundstages to the 330-acre property. Now, however, those ambitions are on hold — thanks to the rapid developments he’s seeing in the realm of artificial intelligence, including OpenAI’s text-to-video model Sora, which debuted Feb. 15 and stunned observers with its cinematic video outputs.

“Being told that it can do all of these things is one thing, but actually seeing the capabilities, it was mind-blowing,” he said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter on Thursday, noting that his productions might not have to travel to locations or build sets with the assistance of the technology.

Generative AI is writing code, putting graphic designers out of work, putting advertising copyrighters out of work, etc.

Seems like you are soon to be put out of work yourself.[/quote]
