Trying to see a different perspective, a professor fed the contents of his course to a ai (textbook, lesson plans, and recordings of lectures) then had that ai take the cpa exam and it passed with flying colors. If the same professor is “on call” during the lesson but doing research in the other room, and he periodically posts a news article with a few of his knee-jerk responses to how it may affect the profession which adds to the ai “local knowledgebase” and empasizes that as it happens, I am not sure how much is lost. This may give great outcomes with a huge reduction in redundant costs (same lectures with minor tweaks).
Edit: as this community is “fuck ai”, I thought it allowed discussions about impacts that were more than attacking people. I believe that the scenario is mentioned would have severe costs to quality of education because some students need someone successful to mimic or they are lost (and you cant mimic an ai). However from the other perspective, it may not be all bad for certain professions.
Just so you know, they won’t keep professors employed if they can replace them with AI. Administrators would love to make a dollar if they thought they could get away with canning those high salary employees. and the administrators don’t care what happens to the university’s reputation on average.
When i was at college, they asked professors to self manage their time to have a certain percent spent teaching and a certain percent spent researching and publishing. Both activities are required, and crappy professors tend to focus on research that gets grants and notoriety for the college. I don’t know about any other incentives of administrators.
Ad hominem attacks without specifics are hard to engage with civilly. Are you asking for a link of a professor who fed their lesson plan to ai and had it pass the cpa?
Nah I’m good, was able to find it on my own. The thing it misses is that what people call “AI” isn’t deterministic, since it has no sense of actual meaning (it is, after all, just an evolution of your phone keyboard’s word prediction, just with an enormous amount of both data and compute). So it could pass an exam one time, then fail it right after even if the conditions don’t change. It hallucinates. A lot. So your idea of an “AI knowledge base” is flawed by design.

You seem to be hallucinating even more than “AI”, which I wasn’t sure was possible, but here we are.
