‘But there is a difference between recognising AI use and proving its use. So I tried an experiment. … I received 122 paper submissions. Of those, the Trojan horse easily identified 33 AI-generated papers. I sent these stats to all the students and gave them the opportunity to admit to using AI before they were locked into failing the class. Another 14 outed themselves. In other words, nearly 39% of the submissions were at least partially written by AI.‘

sadly yea, i’m not happy about it but pretending education is above it all is doing no one any favors
i’d love if we had free education and a culture valuing learning for the joy of it in the us but we can’t even manage to agree feeding starving kids is important
and we just shat all over skilled nurses and the like as non-professional

hard to not hold a bleak outlook on all of it
This is one of those moments I glad to be in one of the states who’re doing the work to get better. I’m in New Mexico, where we are currently 49th (iirc) in education. BUT the state also recently made up to a bachelor’s degree free*. I’m talking advantage of that program and at least at my school it seems like the culture is focused on teaching, not on churning out worker bees.
I came for the queer safety but I’m staying for the social programs.
* Free to residents of the state who maintain a GPA of above 2.5 with an upper limit on covered credit hours which is reasonable enough to accomodate a single change in major halfway through at no additional cost to students. Return students are in charge of their tuition for the first semester if they lack a recent GPA (last 10 years iirc) but are otherwise covered.
what an odd thing to hear about new mexico but good, i’m happy for you and i hope improves life for more in your state
We don’t have to agree. We essentially live in post democratic times. Some people just have to do it.
Education can be above it all and make it possible.
i too want star treck but we’re getting children of men
Because people don’t enact the values of Star Trek. People could create a Starfleet Academy and an organisation with Star Trek values but it seems that all fans are eager for WW3 because that is scripture.
us: sorry best we can do is elysium
What about you? What do you need to make a change?
