alt Hacker NewsWondering why the obvious solution isn’t applied here - instead of giving already well known problems that have been solved thousand times give students open research opportunities- stuff which is on the edge of being possible, no way to cheat with Ai. And if Ai is able to solve those - give harder tasks
The same reason we give beginner math students addition and subtraction problems, not Fermat’s last theorem?
There has to be a base of knowledge available before the student can even comprehend many/most open research questions, let alone begin to solve them. And if they were understandable to a beginner, then I’d posit the LLM models available today would also be capable of doing meaningful work.
