Of course: blame it on the students that they re more interested in the grade than the learning.
Never blame the grade oriented standardisation you put em through.

The problem is when you need to teach -- and assess the homework of -- dozens of students. Education needs to be offered to the masses, but the way it's done today is to put so many people together that the teacher has no option other than not look at how each student develops. This becomes a larger problems in colleges and universities with more than 60 students in each classroom, and teachers having to work on several of those simultaneously.

Yes, I totally agree. I was a teacher for a hot sec until I saw that it wasn't worth it in the long run. Anyways, I quickly realized that it is so tough to teach to individual students vs. teach to the class and then differentiate in worksheets (easy, medium, hard) but all of that takes time to organize . So with this new technology that can further individual teaching and help educators!

I think it will play out the same way across all areas: the good and the smart adapt and evolve to make something greater than we've ever seen, while a bunch of lazy mofos make everyone look bad.

you're getting down voted, but I've had some pretty lacking teachers...and chatGPT is quickly replacing the ways that I supplement the gaps in my learning. Instead of watching hours of YouTube, or trying to rely on poorly written textbooks, chatGPT has made the learning process interactive with decent explanations of concepts that i might be struggling with.
Will it replace the better professors I've come across? No, that's impossible.
But it does help when I have trouble with the course information and am experiencing a disconnect between the instructor, the material, and my learning process for whatever reason.

Yeah 100%, I'm a developer and I'm using it every day to save time sifting through results on Google to figure out how to solve problems. It's not always right, but sometimes it gets you on the right track anyway.

This right here. As AI gets better, the days of reading and trying to remember 500 page text books are numbered. You may start seeing books that are just outlines of concepts and you go through that asking the AI questions and working on that and fine tuning the questions to get to what you need to know.
Now add in AI generated videos to go with the explanation of the topic being worked on.

which is probably already possible, using the ai key frame generation based on DALL-E

The article is like on the professor side? But what about the student side?
Me as a student in a univ where profs don't teach and just give assignments, activities, and projects(either group/individual) and it's like "you will figure it out".
"It's how you use it" this is the right term, i use the chatgpt to explain the process and make pointers to my outputs. I use it for code reviews :>

This is a pretty good description of what most software teams experience when thrown in a project from the product team. It's a good reflection of real life, you have humanity's collective knowledge at your fingertips after all!

It's the consequence of a job market the incentivizes a degree over knowledge and experience.
If having a good grade is all you need to make a living, then there's no need to actually learn.
madogvelkor t1_j5jvzxc wrote
Degrees are an easy filter that put the burden on the applicant. Skill testing is expensive and difficult to do legally in the US, and trial periods discourage candidates who are already employed.

Certs, credentials and licenses are used far more often as a means of protectionism to incumbents than in the service of anything else.
Frankly I'd like to see us do away with a lot of them - if you can do the job you can do the job. Some are obviously more procedure oriented and risky than others but does massage therapy really require more training than teaching people how to fly an airplane? Licensing boards would say so

Honestly, generating a few essays and writing my own version is probably a more educational method than what I did in high school when I had to write a book report. Better to read a bunch of analysis than just flip around the book and try to make random thematic connections.

I’m actually for chatgpt in the sense of who really cares of an ai writes something better than most humans and I take it and tweak it to make it my own creation.
It feels like a lot of people are scared or intimidated by it, like it’s perceived as this big playing field leveler. When In reality the playing field was pretty flat to begin with, just some man made obstacles.
I hope it grows and becomes more accessible to people.

My high school kid wrote an essay today (on his own) and then used chatGPT to review it at the end. Not gonna lie, I thought it was a clever use. Waiting to see how the teacher’s comments line up.
OutOfCharacterAnswer t1_j5jrn1p wrote
You can drill all day it's more important to know the content than get a grade, only question you get is "will I get a good grade?".
I can't tell kids that grades are subjective to an extent so put more weight on what you know, not what I say you know.
Also, students can try to cheat with ChatGPT, but I teach 4th. It's pretty obvious based on their ability if they cheated on an essay or not. If it isn't obvious based on your past work, good on you using a resource because you obviously have the skill.

I have done better from the teachers that do not demand me to memorize everything and allowed open book tests. They would say it’s better to know where you get your knowledge then to force you to remember every exact thing. Those teachers were heaven sent with all the memory issues I have had.
Bidcar t1_j5fosbu wrote
So true, kids should be able to see the value of what is being taught. If the instructor or is unable to convey the importance of the lesson, maybe the information isn’t worthy of the effort of learning.

I mean when there is an expected wordcount for something that you can write in a few sentences this is really helpful to get your thoughts together.
man-vs-spider t1_j5g80k7 wrote
This is a pretty lame take. I’m sure if you ask a bunch of students they would say most classes are pointless. But that doesn’t make it true and there is a societal benefit to teach a broad range of subjects to students. Even if they don’t enjoy it.
