Yes it’s for the worse. Not necessarily because AI in general but because it’s all so new no one knows what the result of using it in the classroom will be. So, consider yourselves an experiment of the “disruptive education” enterprise.

My advice: read lots of real books. Go to the library and study with real books even (especially) if it takes longer.

Can you talk more about this? This is super interesting! You should write a blog post about this.

Parents are collectively sending their children to the wolves to fend for themselves, all because a little YAML touched them where they didn't want to and couldn't handle it.

I hope the kids remember this.

Where is this slop coming from, mainly? From publishers or the teachers themselves? Who are the worst offenders?

I think that I might be just 1 year elder than you but I am in first year of college and we had a prof com exam (just yesterday)

while preparing for it, aside from the slides, our sir had also given us a pdf and I just had the vibe because of the law of triads (AI talks much more in threes) and so I decided to give it to pangram to find out it was 77% written by AI.

The sir himself said that chatgpt is a tool and should be used in a good way rather than a bad way but seeing this and other things, I am unsure if how he used it was entirely good or not. In plain words, after finding that, I was unable to discover how much real effort was put in the pdf by sir and how much of it was just replacable (if not even better) if people just prompt it directly themselves.

I am going quiet frequently to the library and otherwise and the amount of ChatGPT/Claude which is opened is quite staggering and nearly every exam is involving that in some form or other and I was discussing just that or similar with my friends yesterday. AI has changed education in this sense (for better or for worse), I think slightly for worse in terms of that its making people lose trust in connections/relationships (teachers for students and students for teachers and vice versa)

But is also providing a way to customized learning when all else fails. I use it in my own studies and I think that it's good but also it makes me sometimes feel like I am learning something when I might not accurately be doing so and I think that learning still involves struggling with hard problems yourselves which well, the AI can't do it for you. Also I really really hate how sycophantic these models have become and I am observing slightly them being more dumb in the web intefaces

Example: chatgpt made an error within johari window and made hidden/blind swap their places in it yet still said that self-disclosure/feedback was vertical/horizontal respectively, so it was actually wrong in saying so and only because I had known the slides and read it all that I caught it.

Also welcome to hackernews, I hope you enjoy your stay and stay curious, I hope that you don't get hackernews addiction like I have gotten, haha :-D
