- bagrow 10mo agoWell, yes, but, perhaps shortsightedly, I assumed the goal of the professor was to teach the course.
- jimbokun 10mo agoYes I feel like we still don’t have a good explanation for why AI is super human at stand alone assessments but fall down when asked to perform long term tasks.
- semilin 10mo agoWhat's the end vision here? A society of useless, catatonic humans taken care of by a superintelligence? Even if that's possible, I wouldn't call that desirable. Education is fundamental for raising competent adults.
- baq 10mo agoGreat question about what adults can be more competent about than an artificial superintelligence. ‘How to be a human’ comes to mind and not much more.
