I thought that they were trying to get at the hypocrisy of using ai tools to detect ai writing, which has a dismal success rate and ends up with a crazy amount of false positives.

I see that the growth of computer/digital testing directly led to student abuse of ai. Once students were no longer called on to write a blue book or even just generate responses to short answer questions, we failed our students. I understand that term papers and larger writing assignments have their place, but there really is nothing like being able to sit down and show your knowledge in an on the spot essay (at least for a lot of humanities courses where I see ai being abused).

A systemic issue in this space comes from universities and licensing entities giving testing companies carte blanche to race to the bottom in terms of effective testing tools. For licensing, apprenticeship/mentorship and observation are always better indicators of on the job performance, but that doesn’t have the ease and profit margins of big bullshit testing, so companies would never go for it unless states mandated such pathways. With regard to a lot of current digital university testing, a lot of that was Frankensteined from existing licensing exam tools/strategies and similarly does not effectively assess student/candidate aptitude.

Even if this was not the intent of the commentor, my argument is that carelessness and disingenuous/gatekeeping testing practices from universities and licensing institutions certainly bred a significant level of disengagement in students which leads to them phoning it in with ai slop. If we wanted rigorous work from our students, we should have kept the same standards for ourselves, collectively.

Agreed. We gotta do better this time.

We really did not execute enough at Nuremberg. I agree that prison would be a waste with such crimes.

I prefer high security jail, and trials to make Nuremberg blush.

I mean, before that, for sure, too. And not just Sam.

It’s getting to the point where I literally cannot afford to laugh, though.

Republicans who support this are just racists.

At this point, if you’re still hanging around with the fascists, you’ve become a fascist.

Man, I’m just trying to see what’s up?

The main revolution I want to see is the rejection of ideas/cultures that isolate and divide us. I think if people are able to push past apathy and fear, we can make our communities and lives a lot more caring and growthful.

Lots of other things need to change, but personal responsibility and stewardship of your own community can produce tangible results, show others that we don’t have to live in constant fear and anger, and eventually lead to more positive change.

The best way to celebrate is to work toward a better revolution. Hopefully, some of these people are starting to realize that.

I think Kromm should give them a first hand lesson in the riddle of steel…

We can only hope this helps kill the fad. I know companies won’t be taking any realistic lesson from this, but at least this can force them to abandon a lot of this crap.

Lol exactly

That’s basically where I was going with the joke, anyway. I’m hoping this could be the change they need to reassess their life and join the human race.

And conservative men.

I agree with you and the other commentor here, just want to add that a lot of reporting stays away from hard numbers because it’s hard for both the reporter and most readers to grasp.

Our critical thinking and mathematical issues in education definitely go back beyond the lead paint days, and a lot of journalists will try to smooth out the numbers.

As you say, it’s also sometimes done for sensationalism, but this one reads more like the journalist either never got the hard numbers or didn’t think the audience would follow along with them.

We’re past the point of redistribution. We need to take it out of their hides as well.

That scientist sure looks like he has experience with clean burning propane and propane accessories, I tell you hwat!

I’ve never seen it, because even as a kid, I knew James Cameron was a hack and it would be some rehashed story with new paint that he’d call the next big thing.

Turns out it was basically Dances With Wolves with blue aliens.

Edit: Or so I have been told.
