Professors Karle Flanagan and Wade Fagen-Ulmschneider, known as the Data Science Duo, recently confronted a group of students in their introductory data science course who had been accused of cheating and falsifying their attendance records. The professors grew suspicious when they received dozens of nearly identical apology emails from the accused students, which they soon discovered had been generated using artificial intelligence.
The incident occurred on October 17, when the professors read aloud the less-than-genuine apologies in a large lecture hall, projecting the emails on a screen for all to see. The students’ laughter in the background of the video footage indicated that they instantly recognized that AI was used to generate the emails.
So how smart are these kids? They're milking somebody for their tuition, they get to fuck around for four years, coming out of school with a degree in Flower Botany, and they fake their way all the way through. Might be nice if their student loan debt crushes 'em for 20 years or so...
Why bother learning anything when the job you'll be getting you'll only get because of the color of your skin, not on what you know, and definitely not based on the content of your character.

ReplyDeleteEducation is meaningful when the students actually APPRECIATE the purpose of the lesson, etc. Forcing kids to sit through useless classes to "fulfill requirements" is little more than higher education FRAUD. Frankly these professors are likely as boring to listen to as oatmeal. Their lessons likely suck, and the ONLY reason most of them even have jobs is because of "general education" requirements, taxpayer-backed student loans, and the never-ending drumbeat that you have to go to college to be successful. I always wondered how this one guy always did so well in Organic Chemistry class. Then I found out that he was manufacturing drugs at his home using the lessons learned. Most students can't possibly fathom how ANYTHING they are learning will ever be put to good use...and they are 100% correct. Expect the AI problem to only get worse.
