  • I’m in Australia but my uni has at least provided us with a run down on what generative AI actually is, what it does, and how students might use it. Most of the academics I work with really are not ready for AI but that has a lot to do with their overall tech literacy (which is surprisingly low in my field). I think once you learn about AI it’s not as scary. You just have to rework your curriculum in the same way we have with calculators. For intro subjects that require memorising and recall I think these assessments can just be done in person under exam conditions like they always have been. Online tests / exams have honestly always been easy to cheat on and this was before ai.




  • It not being conscious or self aware. It’s just putting words together that don’t necessarily have any meaning. It can simulate language but meaning is a lot more complex than putting the right words in the right places.

    I’d also be VERY surprised if it isn’t harvesting people’s data in the exact way you’ve described.
