    When I asked him why he had gone through so much trouble to get to an Ivy League university only to off-load all of the learning to a robot, he said, “It’s the best place to meet your co-founder and your wife.”

Transcript

You guys seen the story about how everyone is cheating their way through college using, of course, ChatGPT? I'm sure you have seen it because it's the number one story on New York Magazine, which is seen a lot because they also published that West Village Girlie story that went wildly viral. Anyway, the reporter talks to this one kid who goes to Columbia and yes chat GPT to write 80% of his essays. Then he built a tool to help people cheat in job interviews. Then he got suspended. And then he used the publicity to launch a startup and just raised a ton of money. This kid is not an better, though. Nearly 90% of college students, according to this reporter, have used AI for schoolwork. Some literally don't write papers anymore. They just prompt. My favorite part of this piece is the reporter asked the Columbia student why he even bothered with an Ivy League University only to offload all of the learning to a robot to which he replies, it's the best place to meet your cofounder and your wife. LOL. Professors know this is happening. They just don't know what to do about it. AI detectors are so glitchy, and students are already gaming the system, sometimes using multiple AIs to scrub any evidence. Educators warn that this could be the death of deep learning. Degrees without critical thinking, essays graded by bots, a generation literally outsourcing its brainpower. The question isn't who's cheating, it's literally what are we learning anymore. It does kind of remind me of when I was in college. I graduated in 2010. So many kids took Adderall and would basically binge study, cram everything into their brain, take that best, and then forget all of it. I don't know if this is better or worse or pretty much the same, but it good be interesting to see what happens next. And if you're in college, I'm curious to no, what do you think? What are you seeing?
