It should be illegal to cover their faces like that

Imagine it that was literally any other religion. Those same people would lose their minds (more than they already have)

Okay as much as I personally agree, I just studied in Canada for 3 years and my partner is from France so my social circles are very international and not a single one of them prefers their universal healthcare. It’s better than the US imo but has PLENTY of serious problems on the downlow

I firmly believe the goal is to hide the 1am hearing on that “Big Beautiful Bill.” They don’t want people to see how beautiful it is

THIS. This is what I’ve been shouting from the rooftops this whole month!

Where’s your in-depth exposé about the MAGA GOPers blocking the Biden-Buttigieg proposal to properly resource the FAA and upgrade the ATC system?

It’s a very cool job! 👍

NOPE not at all. But we let students use the internet and teach them not to just trust Wikipedia right? I think it’s our job as teachers to make sure we’re teaching critical thinking with all real-world tools available, like we do with the internet.

I too fear it’s being used in place of developing actual reading and writing skills. That’s why I think we need to be brave enough to have deep conversations about ethical/strategic parameters for use in academic spaces. Ex: we don’t make calculus students do their long division by hand

Exactly! With every new technology comes new conversations about ethical parameters, but also incredible new opportunities. I see the current anxiety about AI in academia as similar to the anxiety people felt decades ago when trying to figure out how to integrate internet use into their curriculums.

That’s fair—you’re well within you’re right to. I just know personally how it’s helped me reach new heights with my own research/career and lament to see such significant value and potential going nowhere. The pedagogue in me sees how it could revolutionize our education institutions for the better

it’s about as smart in terms of reasoning and argument flow as an average high-school/college age reader. I’m not asking it to do the harder things. Most high schoolers can generate topic sentences? I just like making sure my point is clear to a second set of eyes, because I’ll only ever have one 😆

Yup, this proves my point. It’s incredible that you use that as an excuse though. I have severe depression too (as well as PTSD and severe anxiety) but it doesn’t lead me to be an ass to strangers online for literally no reason

Ohhh I see so it’s a jealousy thing then

I use it for as a “second set of eyes” instead of begging my peers to be writing partners. Ex: I can ask its opinion on whether a paragraph should be split into two. Or I might remove the topic sentence and then have the AI tell me what it thinks my point is, and then I can check it against my TS

I’m very sorry for whatever happened in your life to make you feel the need to bully a complete stranger for the dopamine boost. Sounds like a rough time for you

You know it’s useless for these needs right? There’s no thesaurus for style/tone choices, fam. Tell me you don’t do academia without telling me 🤣

I write best with a writing partner, so I can bug it with dumb questions like “do you think this should be one paragraph or two?” Or I can check the flow of my argument by removing the topic sentence of a paragraph, and asking it “what do you think the main point is here?” and check it against my TS

It’s also helped me improve my writing. Halfway through a 20 page paper I start to notice that I reuse the same phrases and transition sentences, so I asked Chat GBT to help me find alternatives and now I have a whole word bank in my brain of alternatives for future papers.

In December I had 5 days to write 20 PhD about the art philosophy of an author who has written over 60 books, so I asked to read his ouvre for me and spit out the top 5 books that would be relevant to read for my specific project, based on keywords and research questions I gave it. Total gamechanger

Okay actually though, there’s totally a way to use AI for schoolwork and do it right. It can be a fantastic tool for preliminary research paper material (just be sure to vet every source it tells you because it makes up fake sources!), WAY more helpful than just searching key terms in JSTOR 👌👍

This is actually a really common thing. Still cool though

Yup and if you read Keplers Harmonices Mundi he even talks about the force (he doesn’t use the word “force”) that later gets called gravity. He just calls it “music” because he’s one of the last in the Neoplatonic speculative metaphysics tradition that believed “music” governed everything.
