Linguistics attributes this to the concept of “bursts” in writing.
This is a new concept to me, but I can recognize that I have done it in my own writing. This is interesting.

They’ll never haveto write essays in the adult workforce, so why bother putting effort into them
But they will have to write and speak (I think a lot of writing skills translate over into speaking) for the rest of their lives and careers. A friend of mine that just started teaching recently talked to me about how she had to emphasize to her students that no matter their field they will need to write.

Leehopes people will use Cluely to continue AI’s siege on education.
Lee seems like a villain, I wonder if that is based on my reactions to/perception of him, bias, or the way he has been portrayed by the author.
-
While Cluely can’t yet deliver real-time answers through people’s glasses
Wouldn't his ad be false advertising then?
-
“We built Cluely so you never have to think aloneagain,” the company’s manifesto reads.
no words, just -0-

a Stanford dropout
It's interesting that the author thought to include this.
-
it might rely on something that isfactually inaccurate or just make something up entirely — with the ruinous effect social media has hadon Gen Z’s ability to tell fact from fiction
Interesting and something I have recognized, but I dont think it is just Gen Z. I think this is a multi-generational problem, especially when it comes to recognizing how truthful AI content is.

How can we expectthem to grasp what education means when we, as educators, haven’t begun to undo the years ofcognitive and spiritual damage inflicted by a society that treats schooling as a means to a high-payingjob, maybe some social status, but nothing more?”
This is so interesting!
-
The students kind of recognize that the system is broken and that there’s not really apoint in doing this.
Mirrors what Lee said at the beginning of the article.
-
Every time I brought it up with the professor, I got the sense he was underestimating the power ofChatGPT
Another point of interest for this conversation is the power dynamic between Williams and the professor.
-
whenever they encounter a little bit ofdifficulty, instead of fighting their way through that and growing from it, they retreat to something thatmakes it a lot easier for them.
I think this is reflective of a larger societal issue with patience, effort, and attention.
-
I then fed a chunk oftext from the Book of Genesis into ZeroGPT and it came back as 93.33 percent AI-generated
thats crazy.
-
studies have shown they trigger more false positives for essays written by neurodivergentstudents and students who speak English as a second language
Is it bias in the AI detector? or is it just that the way that these students write is similar to how AI was trained to respond?
-
meaning these are people whonot only didn’t write the paper but also didn’t read their own paper before submitting it.
Interesting
-
“As an AI, I have been programmed ...”
It's kind of funny that they didn't think to remove this.
-
counterpoints tend to be presented just asrigorously as the paper’s central thesis
I wonder if I can find examples of this online. I have an idea of what the author is discussing but I have a hard time visualizing it in my head.
-
learning is what “makes us truly human.”
I was not aware of critical pedagogy before this article, but I do agree that learning is part of our humanity.
-
But she’d rather get good grades
I honestly agree. I love to learn, I do, but sometimes my fear of failing gets so overwhelming. I think this highlights alot of the anxiety students feel about getting good grades and passing.
-
“College is just how well I canuse ChatGPT at this point,”
wow
-
Professors and teaching assistants increasingly found themselves staring at essays filled withclunky, robotic phrasing that, though grammatically flawless, didn’t sound quite like a college student —or even a human.
Sounds like the "flattening your voice" argument
-
Lee thought it absurd that Columbia, which had a partnership with ChatGPT’s parent company,OpenAI, would punish him for innovating with AI.
This is so crazy. I agree with his notion that lots of students are using AI for classwork, with and without permission from their teachers. However, that, as well as Columbia's partnership, does not justify his actions.

“It’s the best place to meet your co-founder and your wife.
thats crazy
-
They’re hackable by AI, and I just had no interest in doing them.
wow

best be wielded by people who have a knowledge of that heritage
people with prior knowledge and understanding of the subject, so that they can verify that the information they're receiving is correct. edit: While this is still valid, but I believe my opinion has changed after further research.
-
coding computers might be more closely related to learning a foreign language
I feel this could relate to the Harari et all article.
-
And they can manipulate narrative to get the AI to think in the way they want
Reminiscent of the Ettinghausen article.
-
the more powerful these systems become.
The more you know, they better you can use the system.
-
There are glyphs that other AIs cannot see. Still other AIs seem to have invented their own languages by which you can invoke them.
I looked into the two articles linked here and I found the additional information fascinating.

science fiction
I wonder if the author would also use the word dystopian?

doesn’t make them useful to novices.
relates to Mollick's "Magic for English Majors"
