The use case for AI is spam.
- topaz0 11mo agoIt's the reverse printing press, drowning all purposeful human communication in noise.
- bdw5204 11mo agoAnother major use case for it is enabling students to more easily cheat on their homework. Which is why it is probably going to end up putting Chegg out of business.
- octoberfranklin 11mo agoI am shocked when I talk to college kids about AI these days. I try to explain stuff to them like regurgitating the training data, context window limits, and confabulation. They stick their fingers in their ears and say "LA LA LA LA it does my homework for me nothing else matters LA LA LA LA i can't hear you" They really do not care about the Turing Test. Today's LLMs pass the "snowed my teaching assistant test" and nothing else matters. Academic fraud really is the killer app for this technology. At least if you're a 19-year-old.
- SoftTalker 11mo agoMaybe AI will finally skewer the myth that an undergraduate degree means anything.

- BeFlatXIII 11mo agoThese kids are only in school to get a meal ticket to white-collar job interviews. AI frees them to be honest about their intentions, rather than pretend for long enough to stumble their way into learning something.
- BeFlatXIII 11mo agoAI brought “let someone else do it for you” cheating to the middle class, no longer the domain of wealthy flunkies.
