I’m in college right now and around half the coursework I do could be 4x more efficient if I used AI. GPT-3 could write me A papers if I just did a bit of editing / copy & pasting, and that same software can solve around half of the math problems in my homework. I wonder how academia will pivot once all the assignments and projects can be done by AI.

I challenge you to hand in an assignment written by GPT-3 and see if you get an A.

Would fall just on the edge of cheating -- but it could be an interesting experiment.

People have done it, I recall some posts about it. I'm not able to verify the accuracy of those claims, but why wouldn't it work? If you include the ability to edit it in your experiment then it's just doing the typing for you. You still input prompts with your ideas.

The next generation will certainly be better for cutting down on the need to edit the essay yourself too. Hopefully those are released before you finish school.

I did it and it worked. Of course needed some tweaking.
