Reminds me of that study which found that over a sample of 1000 sessions, asking ChatGPT to tell a joke would make it tell one of 25 stock jokes 90% of the time, with the four most common jokes accounting for about half of the results. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2023/06/resea...
This is a good example, I think, of why a future in which all homework is obsolete because of AI is actually not likely. If a lecturer at university sets a task for 100 students (say, write an essay about the factors that led to the first world war), there will be clear and glaring similarities between the way that points are made and explained if many students use chatgpt. Yes a student might rewrite or paraphrase c…
I've started to notice the low-effort YouTube videos where the arguments / points / facts are presented in the same sequence as the matching articled on Wikipedia.
In time, this quirk and others* will disappear. I’ve recently wondered whether it makes more sense to have AIs teach more at home and have classrooms evaluate more. Another thought is that people will still need knowledge to interact with an LLM in any meaningful way. It’s akin to doing research with a brilliant professor: an illiterate partner will have no idea even what to ask. *If you repeatedly prompt an LLM to “…
To be honest, for some children, even books are better teachers than classrooms with other teenagers constantly disrupting the class with teachers not being able to teach nor being able to punish the disruptive children due to modern regulatory burden, which removes total accountability from children. Our classrooms have already been ruined, not just in america but worldwide. AI will be great for the decent, obedient…
If we're lucky, AI may also disrupt some core assumptions about what a childhood should be.
I'd love to not be forced to enlist my child in the state sponsored training program for the white collar meat grinder, competing against ritalin packing tiger moms, just for the chance to potentially avoid resource scarcity later in life.

So better than human performance? If you put me on the spot to tell a joke I can recall maybe 10 good ones, 2 of which are ok for work
I recruit senior Java developers. The are so many parallels. They don’t read instructions. Instructions say clearly not to use ai for the written screen. They copy and paste blindly. The trick is that there are some instructions written in 0-sizes font that people don’t see in the assignment description. The copied-and-pasted version has them but no one rereads the prompt. Also the AI gives a substandard answer, but…

What if they use AI but the right way to get the correct answer? What then? Maybe asking candidates something an AI can also answer is not the right way to screen people.

Hmm ..citation?

If they use it the right way, then you wouldn't be able to tell.
