    1. 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.

    2. 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.

    3. 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.

    4. 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?

    5. 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.

    6. 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.

    1. 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.

    2. 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.

    3. 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.

    1. 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.

    2. 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.

    3. 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.

    1. 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.

    2. 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.

    3. 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.

    4. 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.

    1. 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).

    2. 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

    3. 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.

    4. 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.

    5. 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.

    1. 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?

    2. 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

    3. 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.

    4. 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.

    5. “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?

    6. 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.

    1. 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.

    2. 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?

    1. 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?

    2. 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.

    1. 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.

    2. 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.
