View submission: Study: 94% Of AI-Generated College Writing Is Undetected By Teachers

Considering college is expensive as shit, I don’t really mind the fact that people are giving themselves as much of a chance to pass classes with all the bullshit busy work that’s being forced upon them. Many colleges don’t teach subjects even remotely in a way that actually teaches the subjects properly. Students have to spend hours and hours doing homework and research and when they get into the workforce how you get your answer matters less and less, and your actual output is what matters. It’s even worse when you’re paying thousands to have to fight to understand the content through someone’s accent or inability to teach.

Schools should be teaching using all available methods. AI isn’t going anywhere and it’s an incredibly useful tool no matter how much people hate on it. Being able to use it in a way that augments your learning is a great thing.

The workplaces will suss out who does and doesn’t know their shit. Colleges need to adapt

so more degree inflation where everyone and their mom needs to Get a degree because its so worthlessly easy to get one that if you can't then you are an absolute idiot. After that you can start training for your actual job

I found that people who use AI on the regular will say shit like this and then they can't explain basic ass concepts without prepping for them because they don't know shit

I'm not convinced. I've worked with many people, often in higher positions, who know and contribute very little. The workplace survives because those around them compensate. Workplaces can be incredibly terrible at hiring and evaluating who does the real work and who is just good at talking. I can see those types embracing Chat GPT to further their obfuscation, but in the end it will only help themselves, not their employers.
