Dumb take because inaccuracies and lies are not unique to LLMs.

half of what you’ll learn in medical school will be shown to be either dead wrong or out of date within five years of your graduation.

https://retractionwatch.com/2011/07/11/so-how-often-does-medical-consensus-turn-out-to-be-wrong/ and that's 2011, it's even worse now.

Real studying is knowning that no source is perfect but being able to craft a true picture of the world using the most efficient tools at hand and like it or not, objectively LLMs are pretty good already.

If we are talking about critical thinking, then I would argue that using AI to battle the very obvious shift that most instructors have taken, (that being the use of AI as much as possible to plan out lessons, grade, verify sources.......you know, the job they are being paid to do? Which, by the way, was already being outsourced to whatever tools they had at their disposal. No offense TAs.) as natural progression.

I feel it still shows the ability to adapt to a forever changing landscape.

Isn't that what the hundred-thousand dollar piece of paper tells potential employers?

Using AI doesn't remove the ability to fact check though.

It is a tool like any other. I would also be weary about doctors using a random medical book from the 1700s to write their thesis and take it at face value.

Did the same apply when calculators came out? Or the Internet?

So they believe 90% of colleges is shit, they are on the right track, but not there yet. College is nothing but learning a required sack of cow shit. University isnt supposed to be. Everyone who goes to college for a "track" to learn a "substance" is wasting university time in my mind. That's a bloody trade school. Fuck everyone who thinks business is a University degree. If you're not teaching something you couldn't have published 5 years ago, your a fn sham. University is about progress and growth. If you want to know something we knew today, you should be taught to stop going to university, and find a college that's paid for by your state. AND LETS FUCKING PAY FOR IT. that's just 12-15 at that point. Most. We pay more in charges yearly trying to arrest kids for drugs and holding them back then we do just direct people who "aren't sure" what they want.

Edit: sorry for sounding like an ass, I'm just being an ass these days. Nothing personal to anyone

This is a problem with integrity, not AI. If I have AI write me a paper and then proof read it to make sure the information is accurate and properly sourced how is that wrong?

I'm so tired of this rhetoric.

How do students prove that they have "concern for truth .. and verifying things with your own eyes" ? Citations from published studies? ChatGPT draws its responses from those studies and can cite them, you ignorant fuck. Why does it matter that ChatGPT was used instead of google, or a library? It's the same studies no matter how you found them. Your lack of understanding how modern technology works isn't a good reason to dismiss anyone else's work, and if you do you're a bad person. Fuck this author and everyone who agrees with them. Get educated or shut the fuck up. Locking thread.
