These stories always make me wonder what those colleges and universities are teaching when it can allegedly be so easily replaced with AI-generated content. The times when writing fluffy, unoriginal essays would constitute a "soft skill" are definitely gone.
Anyway, until AI tools become standard, my advice to students and researchers is to use version control systems to document every step of the evolution of a paper. That's what I'm going to do while I'm still in Academia (not that I plan to stay, after 16 years I've had enough of this nonsense).
- DonsDiscountGas 3y agoAt the undergrad level essays aren't supposed to be incredibly original. It would be pretty hard for them to be, given the volume of students answering the exact same essay questions.
- Ekaros 3y agoIt makes perfect sense that AI would be perfect tool for same content produced by students. After all we expect thousands if not millions of students to produce same or very similar output from same input. Now feed this secretly to some model and no wonder it can be all produced by AI. Undergraduates are not and never will be doing anything original. And most of the work is getting them to point where they can produce at least something in pretty standard style and format.
