Everything in this article is mind-blowing to me: nymag.com/intelligence... The purpose of education is *learning*. Assignments and exams are tools to evaluate how well you're doing that. If you use an LLM chatbot to do these for you, most likely you'll end up a diploma-bearing know-nothing.

But now, as one student put it, “the ceiling has been blown off.” Who could resist a tool that makes every assignment easier with seemingly no consequences? After spending the better part of the past two years grading AI-generated papers, Troy Jollimore, a poet, philosopher, and Cal State Chico ethics professor, has concerns. “Massive numbers of students are going to emerge from university with degrees, and into the workforce, who are essentially illiterate,” he said. “Both in the literal sense and in the sense of being historically illiterate and having no knowledge of their own culture, much less anyone else’s.” That future may arrive sooner than expected when you consider what a short window college really is. Already, roughly half of all undergrads have never experienced college without easy access to generative AI. “We’re talking about an entire generation of learning perhaps significantly undermined here,” said Green, the Santa Clara tech ethicist. “It’s short-circuiting the learning process, and it’s happening fast.”", "image": { "$type": "blob", "ref": { "$link": "bafkreie4zjazaqptpdzti7jn7btufxpwekcciwb3z2vwkrehc6bi4js4ba" }, "mimeType": "image/jpeg", "size": 505296 }, "aspectRatio": { "width": 552, "height": 523 } } ] }, "langs": [ "en" ], "facets": [ { "index": { "byteEnd": 75, "byteStart": 50 }, "features": [ { "uri": "https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/openai-chatgpt-ai-cheating-education-college-students-school.html", "$type": "app.bsky.richtext.facet#link" } ] } ], "createdAt": "2025-05-08T14:06:06.180Z" } }
