I'm going to go ahead and call this a positive. If the means for measuring ability in some fields is beaten by a stochastic parrot then these fields need to adapt their methods so that testing measures understanding in a variety of ways.
I'm only slightly bitter because I was always rubbish at long form essays. Thankfully in CS these were mostly an afterthought.
- zztop44 3y agoWhat if the credentials in question are a high school certificate? ChatGPT has certainly made life more difficult for high school and middle school teachers.
- VBprogrammer 3y agoIn which ways it it more difficult? Presumably a high school certificate encompasses more than just writing long form essays? You presumably have to show an understanding in worked examples in maths, physics, chemistry, biology etc? I feel like the invention of calculators probably came with the same worries about how kids would ever learn to count.
