Reply to comment by Steve_Zissouu in Neuroscientist Gregory Berns argues that Thomas Nagel was wrong: neuroscience can give us knowledge about what it is like to be an animal. For example, his own fMRI studies on dogs have shown that they can feel genuine affection for their owners. by Ma3Ke4Li3
Also, the whole point of the bat example is that we know it uses sounds and reflections of the sounds (ultrasound I think) to see. We know it because we acquired external knowledge about bats, but the concept of seeing through ultrasound feels extremely alien to us humans, we can’t imagine what this would feel like.
Affection on the other hand is a concept we surely understand. Oh and by the way, I wouldn’t need a neuroscientist to understand that dogs feel affection to their owners.

Well you can always do oral exams or grade the contribution in class?

As a colleague, I can completely second your opinion. Time will tell how we can meaningfully react to these new circumstances.

Yes, in person. But people are using the toilets and sometimes plant cellphones there. Difficult to spot this. I work as a teacher btw..:)

Yeah, obviously it needs to be included in lessons. However, in exams it’d become problematic. I asked the AI about panopticon structures in Focault’s theories and it spat out a perfectly fine definition.

There’s really no other possibility than properly including this technology in class. If it is really useful, students will certainly use it, at least to cheat. Interesting.

I’d suggest starting reading the books of Walther Ziegler about famous philosophers. Read his books „Plato in 60 minutes“, „Kant in 60 minutes“ and then whatever is of interest for you.
These books are such amazing beginnings to get a general grasp of philosophical concepts. From there, start reading the originals.
