I been saying this for a min, the intelligence gap is gonna be huge in the future and extremely noticeable. You can see it now with the rise of Anti- intellectualism and the dismissal of deep thinking.

fukk chegg
$1.90
That is a nasty drop.
And with newer generations of students coming into college without ever seeing a college text book in their life, it’s lights out for Chegg unless they get swallowed up or strictly get into the ebook game.
Wild that 5 years ago during the height of CoronaMania they were at $113 (their ATH) in February 2021 then $31 in November 2021 — and never recovered since the price kept bottoming out.
Probably sat on their asses during Covid and figured the pandemic would last a lot longer and those rental orders would fly off the shelves.
Exactly. I've been saying since smartphones came out that by the time I'm a senior citizen, those of us who were in the last generations to grow up without them are going to seem like gods among men. ChatGPT and whatever comes next is only going to make that worse.
I'm jealous af of yall youngins who get to go thru college with this shyt available at your fingertips.
YouTube had just come out in my college days
At this point You got ZERO excuses to be failing any class
Why not just send a check to Phoenix University if that's all you want to get out of college?

Ethan Mollick says students don't raise their hands in class as much because they don't want to expose their ignorance when AI can answer their questions, and the use of AI is leading to the illusion of competence and lower test scores

AI can help learning... when it isn't a crutch.
There are now multiple controlled experiments showing that students who use AI to get answers to problems hurts learning (even though they think they are learning), but that students who use AI as a tutor perform better on tests.

I had a teacher when I was in high school that bribed me to always raise my hand and ask really stupid questions before everyone else.
It set the bar for participation as really low, because everyone knew they could AT LEAST contribute something better than I did.

Not sure that asking AI for questions wouldn't provide learning. Students might need though to learn how to ask AI to learn the most. A (good) human teacher will try to double check and make sure that students understood. An AI will just provide an explanation and unless re-prompted to extend or explain otherwise that would be it. Easily improvable with an application wrapper instructed to do similar. Did that wrapper cot app for my kids like in april 2023... now they use chatpgt directly using the right patterns, verification, etc. to activate their learning. That what students need to learn...

Teachers and lecturers can try all they want to ban this technology but it's not going anywhere. I applaud the students who are using this. also interesting to think that these students are learning how to interact with LLM's not through courses but through usage.

Easy access to great teachers will lead to increased learning.

An ai tutor would ask the student follow up questions, give the option of worked examples and other methods to embed / check learning

I find with AI that when you keep seeing what is needed in a program, you get used to sticking to what works, which is a good thing as it's constant training with the very best.
