100% not worried.
There are some real short-term issues. Teachers who don't know anything about it. Students who think the teacher won't notice that their illiterate self got smart over the weekend. Legislators using it as a political football.
But ultimately before long text AI will be good enough to fool anyone. And you will be able to feed it your style and it will spit out text appropriate for your grade level, just good enough for the A. And cheating will happen.
Pandora's box is not going to be closed.
Does that spell universal illiteracy and the end of higher learning? lol. Nah. Testing will certainly have to be creative.
Just off the top of my head. Have every student write one paragraph during a whole period and make it as good as they can. That creates a baseline. And, you could actually use an AI (or not) to measure future results against it and map growth.
We will figure this out and AI, at least for a time, will be a good thing. Quantum Computer AI that can predict the future... not quite as excited about that one. heh.
- russdill 4y agoI remember the hard part of the GREs for me was the essay section. Especially since in all my education, writing something short and concise being graded primarily on the prose and not the content was something that really didn't come up much in my education. Essays were something you did at home. It does seem like take home essays will be less and less of a thing going forward.
- ulrashida 4y agoWhat happens when those students are then called upon to apply that knowledge? Are they locked into AI-assisted answers forevermore, or do they succumb to a hint of "well I got an A in school on this" and start believing they actually understand the material?
