The ice in your drink at the bar is very very dirty.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (9 children)

I used to work at a nice bar. It was just a side gig for "fun". I was always very careful with the ice and ice machine, because i find ice gross in general. I still found it very odd how many people just demand "questionable" ice. I'm glad if i don't get ice, please don't ice adds nothing but grossness to any drink.

The use of chatgpt for writing is so widespread in higher ed, it will cause serious problems to those students when entering the workforce.

Lots of fancy stuff is written about how we just have to change the way we teach!, and how we can use chatgpt in lessons! blablabla, but it's all ignorant of the fact that some things need to be learnt by doing them, and students can't understand how they hurt their own learning, because they don't know what they don't know.

I bet AI detection is going to get a lot better over time.

I wonder if there's going to be retrospective testing of theses as time goes on.

Could really damage some careers down the line.

Edit: guys, retrospective testing means it was done later (i.e. with a more up to date AI detector).

Or we're going the other way and just accept it as a tool for performing tasks that would otherwise take too much time.

Granted that it makes the problem of teaching students the basics even more important.
