“I am often left with a choice between soliciting participation where students are merely the deadpan voice boxes of hallucinatory AI slop, or silence,” the Philadelphia teacher despaired. “Which am I supposed to choose?”
ChatGPT isn’t its own, unique problem. It’s a symptom of a totalizing cultural paradigm in which passive consumption and regurgitation of content becomes the status quo," Nathan Schmidt, a university lecturer and managing editor at Gamers With Glasses, told 404.
Seems to be easier to blame students for understandably responding to rote-practice, monotonous factory-work oriented slopfest curricula with slop, rather than actually addressing the core issue at hand.
Yeah it’s amazing how people can be so uncritical of their own control. If your control is undermined by stastitics, then maybe statistics isn’t the problem.
I can elaborate on that. In education no one cares about what you’ve learned, just what your grade is, based on your grades you get a job. Better grades, better job, better pay.
We have long before AI decoupled learning from education.
In my opinion, the kids are only playing the game the way it’s meant to be played. Do whatever it takes to get the highest grade, learning is for suckers / things you actually care about.
Yep, pretty much, I didn’t feel like putting it into words, so thanks for this. I’d add that arguably, when students “play the game”, they get the same flack, or worse, than job applicants who exaggerate or straight up lie in their resume the same way companies lie about free unlimited PTOs, job security, a clear career ladder, etc.
Using morality or honesty as an argument against students who cheat is an attack on students, a distraction from the fact that this shit doesn’t work the way it was advertised actually, which has been internalized and normalized in many societies, left uncontested, which is big bad.

Education system lags behind the times and cannot properly adjust for new tools and technology? Unheard of!
Education system created to make people into complacent exploitables for the capitalists? Preposterous, are you commie or what?!

What is that core issue, in your opinion?
in short: captalism lol.
slightly longer: captialism. lmao.
