It's BS good enough for the humanities, but not the sciences.
- k_sze 4y agolike PhD-level postmodernism essays, right?

- bee_rider 4y agoPerhaps it is harder to detect bullshit in the humanities because the material is more complex.
- threadweaver34 4y agoIt's that that right answer is fuzzier.
- CJefferson 4y agoActually, so far I've seen humanities people discard chatGPT output faster than sciences. In the humanties there is lots of well-written text of no useful depth, so academics in the humanities get good at filtering it quickly. In the sciences, it seems "this is well written and well structured" is treated as a filter to assume the text probably contains something worth reading -- of course eventually it is found to be nonsense.

(The whole essay, which Sharples considered graduate-level, is available, complete with references, here.) Personally, I lean toward a B+. The passage reads like filler, but so do most student essays.
