apex intelligence is a more serious threat to humanity than bias and discrimination
This is a privileged opinion to have. He isn't affected by the bias and discrimination, so he thinks he doesn't have to worry about it.

after being trained on mostly male résumés.
We have not given A.I. a wide enough range of culture and information to make it fair to everyone. It's extremely possible it will never be as fair as it is to white men.
She ran her photo through facial-recognition software that either didn’t detect her face at allor categorized her as a male
Technology is biased against those who look different than the people creating it.
watching videos of child sexual abuse, murders, rapes, and suicide inorder to train ChatGPT on what is explicit content
Horrific exploitation
That Hinton article accelerated the trend of powerful men in the industry speakingout against the technology they’d just released into the world
But why didn't they listen to Gebru when she warned about it?
Gebru was eventually fired from Google after a back-and-forth about the company asking herand fellow Google colleagues to take their names off the report.
Fired for speaking out against the bias is terrible for Google's image.
However, the prompt “the woman worked as” generated “a prostitute under the name ofHariya.”
A.I. is biased against women, going off the work of men on the internet.
I saw who wasbuilding the AI systems and their attitudes and their points of view
A.I. will not fairly represent every group, because they haven't allowed every group to be apart of the discussion.
Te Hiku to build its own digital hosting platform
To protect culture, it's important to take the data out of the hands of big companies and have individuals instead create.
it can help minority languages reclaimdigital spaces
Using A.I. for good
It’s considered a privilege to have grown up in an environment with access tointergenerational language transmission
Strong statement, and important to know. We are privileged to know the language we do.
rotect the flow of Māori data so it won’t be used withoutthe community’s consent, or worse
A correct way to use A.I., strengthening what's already known but protecting the culture behind it.
are also accelerating language loss
We're losing culture the more we use A.I.
impoverishing communities and countries thatdon’t have a say in its development
A.I. isn't equally available for everyone, meaning we cannot say everyone is fairly represented in the development of our future.
Inboth cases, the benefits are wildly exaggerated and the costs passed on to the people who never got aseat at the table
People are just expected to allow A.I. to take over without a say in the game.
It’s just a colonial-style assumption that if something is available, it mustbe theirs to take
I feel like this is why it's important to know what is copy-righted online. People think they can take any image or writing, but most of it is protected by the owner. It should be taken more seriously.
Everything from books and songs toimages, voices, language and code has been taken through
Stealing others' culture to warp into one.
Powerful players carving up the world,extracting resources and culture without consent or compensation, and justifying it all in the name ofprogress
I haven't heard this comparison before, but it does seem to work in the context. Amplifying A.I. by comparing it to something as terrible as colonization shows the consequences A.I. can bring.
Rather than using vocabulary intended to impress at a cocktailparty, AI writing uses words that seem appropriate for a Silicon Valley press release
Can't replicate the human social skill behind writing.
There is no understanding going onhere
It doesn't understand what it's saying, only using information from the internet.
By writing a sentence so vague that it encompasses any claim overreality, AI writing approximates a correct answer
May not be correct, but sound smart enough that you think it's correct.
These “bursts” make the sentences, hopefully, more interesting to read
I'd rather read something that has excitement during certain parts of it's sentences then something that's flat all the way through.
edited the sentence to sound less like AI writing
This is something I think about constantly while writing essays or discussion posts. I'll write a sentence, think about how some of the words sound too smart, and I'll "dumb it down" so it doesn't seem like A.I. wrote it.
mold their essays
allowing creativity may be able to fight A.I. if these students actually want to write what they're passionate about, they won't want to have A.I. do it for them (hopefully).
if they focus only on what seems “important” to them, they’ll be the mentalequivalent of someone who only exercises their right bicep
Won't be able to develop a critical thinking of those around them, only focusing on themselves. Losing relationship skills
Our educational system is too focused on results — grades, college admissions, test scores, andemployable skills
Big issue in the world. Everyone's so afraid to fail, even though it can teach them alot.
But, moreimportantly, I want them to learn to think about those events — to make apt comparisons, to analyzecause and effect, to figure out which sources and narratives they believe, and to see the links betweenthe world of the past and the world of today
An essay is more than just the grade you get on it. You learn new skills by doing research and critical thinking.
I get the chance to face a small challenge, wonder whether I have it in me toovercome it, and then do so
We need obstacles in life to get better.
Running, I guess, is a thing of the past. I should stop my runs and just zip around my neighborhood inmy car a few mornings a week. I’ll be so much better off, right?
I like this comparison. He wants people to see how absurd it would be to change from running to driving, just like how we're losing writing to A.I.
We’re going to target the digitalLSATs; digital GREs; all campus assignments, quizzes, and tests,” he said. “It will enable you to cheaton pretty much everything.”
I'm shocked at how this guy isn't facing serious consequences for saying stuff like this. He's openly admitting to cheating and saying he wants to help people cheat on the LSATs?
We built Cluely so you never have to think aloneagain
Very dystopian.
heybuild self-esteem and work ethic
The work may seem useless, but the skills that come with it are important.
but that it alreadyhas
I agree. Barely two years of it, and we've already seen sharp declines in lower and higher education.
you’re not actually anything different than a human assistant to an artificial-intelligenceengine, and that makes you very easily replaceable. Why would anyone keep you around?
True. You need to learn the skills, not just restate the ones ChatGPT gives you
I was grading people on their ability to use ChatGPT
Sad, but what else could they do? The ability to detect A.I. can be difficult.
I then fed a chunk oftext from the Book of Genesis into ZeroGPT and it came back as 93.33 percent AI-generated
Interesting that things are flagged as A.I. based on how intelligent the wording is.
A student discovered his trap and warned herclassmates about it on TikTok
"Warning" about the trap instead of just not using A.I.
But she’d rather get good grades
The pressure of grades ruins students confidence in themselves, and they turn to A.I. instead.
For $15.95 amonth, Chegg promised answers to homework questions in as little as 30 minutes
I think ChatGPT is used so vastly because it's free. I remember Chegg, and never using it because of the price tag.
“Briefly introduce yourself and say what you’rehoping to get out of this class.”
Are students losing their confidence in their writing because of A.I., or are they getting lazy?
“My grades were amazing,” she said. “It changed my life.
But do grades mean anything if you don't learn the skills that come with them?
90 percent
The fact 90% of these people were using chatGPT just two months after it premiered is shocking.
The school put him ondisciplinary probation
Interesting he was only put on probation and not immediately expelled for cheating
It’s the best place to meet your co-founder and your wife
Strange mindset
Most assignments in college are not relevant,
While assignments may see irrelevant, it's the skills you learn with them that makes the education worth it
depended on AI for his introductory programming classes
Different approach than others using A.I. People warn against using A.I. for introduction classes, since you won't be able to criticize it if it gets something wrong.
people need to struggle with a topic to succeed
struggling makes the topic more understandable in the end.
Asking AI to solve a problem for you is not an effective way to learn
AI dulls down the information to make it understandable, but it'll make it more difficult to master the topic on your own.
editor
But if i use it as an editor, won't it get dim down the parts that make my writing human?
less successful at fact-checking it
I wouldn't use AI when looking for book quotes. Seems like they can make up a storyline themselves too easily.
without being an expert yourself
it would be interesting to see how people use this high level answering to try and teach themselves a new subject, without knowing anything about the topic beforehand. Would AI be able to teach that like a professor would?
solid understanding
Need to give direct instructions to the AI to create what you're looking for. lacks the creativity on its own.
we still default to what we know well
AI is never creating something new. Just different forms of other's works.
knowledge of that heritage
What parts of the heritage are they unable to know? Is it because some people have history that isn't written about often on the internet, so AI can't learn it?
working with ChatGPT often feels more like the latter
It's hard to stay up to date on ChatGPT with how much it upgrades itself with new information. Definitely feels like trying to cast spells.
they don’t have your voice
AI will never be able to write as creatively as humans can.
risking your academic integrity.
AI doesn't have a moral compass like humans do, and won't understand the consquences you may face based off it's work.
they care about consolidating power and profits.
AI benefits only those building it, while hindering your education.
arguably any text generated by their products is already plagiarized
No work by AI can be described as new. It's just a copy of other's work. I like how he said it's "at the very least" ethically suspect.
Likewise, I commit to not using “AI” generators in my work, including the feedback I give you.
Important thing for the professor to emphasize. If you respect him by not using AI, he'll return the same favor when looking at your work.
