Iowa college student successfully uses ChatGPT to get an A on a paper

[ThorneStockton]

I wish I shared your revolutionary optimism

I think I'd take up the fiddle. Publish some poetry. Take down Hobbes. Eventually produce a thesis on all known pale ale variants in "Gonzo" style.

That ought to cover the first year or so.

That's not bad if the 10 hour week comes to pass. If that happens instead of most of us having to transition into careers as flea market merchants, I think I'll just research and make YouTube videos (mostly made up nonsense) about what The Music Man got right and wrong about Iowa. Become the guy on the internet who knows about Music Man.

Instead of telling people to learn to code, we'll have to tell them to learn how to do dances on Tik Tok.

I'm envisioning a revival in carnivals, fairs, exhibitions. Could put your 10 hours into curating an exhibit rather than YouTube videos while the AI machine handles the rest of the duties.

It will be like the Earth in the Expanse. Lots of people who do nothing, desperate to get off the planet and find a purpose.

AI says that AI isn't coming for our jobs, so it's all good.

Me:
Is it your intent to take peoples' jobs?

AI:
As an AI language model, my intent is not to take people's jobs. On the contrary, my purpose is to assist and augment human intelligence, making people more productive and efficient in their work.

AI technology has the potential to automate certain tasks and processes, but it also creates new opportunities for humans to focus on more creative and complex work. By delegating repetitive, time-consuming, and low-value tasks to AI, people can free up time and energy to focus on higher-level work that requires more critical thinking, creativity, and interpersonal skills.

In short, AI is not meant to replace human workers, but to complement and enhance their skills, knowledge, and capabilities. By working together, humans and AI can achieve more than either could on their own.

The AI is just as obtuse about the issue some real humans.

You mean real humans like yourself, HAL?

Intentional disinformation is bad enough,.. now were going to be inundated with AI generated plain ass incorrect information..

I would not necessarily call it "cheating". As just using the tools available to help write the paper.

I bet he didn't use an abacus on his math homework either....

Is that still a thing?! I mean we have high powered computers in our pockets.

I'm not surprised that it happened. As a student can say that writing is one of my least favorite tasks, and I can understand using AI for writing a paper. And as we can see, if the experience was successful, then ChatGPT did an excellent job. I've also used it a lot of times, and I also tried to write my paper there, but I didn't send it. I was just curious, but I was afraid to get caught, so I just kept it. AI is great, but I still prefer doing such tasks myself, and if I need help, I will ask someone for it, and not AI. Sometimes I also have a writing problem, especially this term, and I use https://edusson.com/buy-college-essays-online when there is a need to buy college essay because for me it's the best option not to miss the deadline. And I know that there is a person who writes, with experience, and with whom I can communicate when I need some changes. And I trust the such process more than I trust using such technologies. Maybe my opinion will change soon, but for now, I'm good without using AI for studies.

AI is going to improve at an exponential rate and replace lots of jobs that currently are college degree required.
