I graduated college a decade ago, but I have to admit, if I were still in school it would have been incredibly hard to resist using LLMs to do my homework for me if they existed back then.
- dartos 2y agoHard to resist? Why on earth would you lol. It’s not significantly different from googling each question.
- Trasmatta 2y agoIt's absolutely significantly different, especially for certain types of classes and problems. > Why on earth would you lol. Because school is hard, I was a kid, homework takes a ton of time, and I would rather be playing video games. Of course the temptation to cheat would be there.
- dartos 2y ago> It's absolutely significantly different, especially for certain types of classes and problems. How is it different? A flathead screwdriver isn’t good for the class of screws that have a hex head, but both flathead and hex screwdrivers are still screwdrivers. Looking things up on Google was considered cheating in the early 2000s > Because school is hard, I was a kid, homework takes a ton of time, and I would rather be playing video games This is a reason to NOT resist. I was asking “why on earth would you resist the temptation”
- CoastalCoder 2y agoMaybe it depends on why you're taking classes in the first place. If you just want the degree to unlock certain jobs or prestige, and aren't morally opposed to cheating, I can see how it would seem rational.
- dartos 2y agoThat’s probably the most common reason for anyone to be in school.
- Ferret7446 2y agoI thought the most common reason is to learn things. Maybe not 90% common but at least 60% common at a decent college.
- yusefnapora 2y agoWhy not bring a forklift into the gym?
- pants2 2y agoEspecially in classes that grade on a curve, you're now competing with students who do cheat using LLMs, so you have almost no choice.
