The first wave of propaganda around this was very effective. AI brained people would sing praises of open minded teachers who embraced the torrent of AI slop rather than oppose it. I remember reading about a professor who instead of banning ChatGPT instead gave his students a ChatGPT generated essay and asked them to critically analyse it.
Those AI brained people are all over now. I have a friend who sent me the AI questionnaire they had to fill out, and God damn, not only was it written poorly but it was effectively just a piece of propaganda written by someone who both loves and does not understand what these ML generators do.
I’d never seen so many instances of begging the question in one place before. It was basically:
Q: Because AI is actually good, do you think it’s good?
A. I love AI, it is my god
B. AI is good because it’s good
C. AI is bad, but it’s because I don’t understand it
Nothing is really being done to stop students abusing this either. It’s like everyone threw their hands up and went “fuck it, who cares anymore”
Sounds like what’s happening in corporate America
Love to report to a boss who thinks taking 5 minutes to write a python script that pulls json data can just be “chatgpt’d”
