Artifical Intelligence allows me to get straight A's
old.reddit.com
I have been using this tool for quite some time and only recently came up with the idea to use it to write essays, answer questions about movies...

Reddit conversation about using GPT-3 to write your homework. A teacher comments: "Grading something an AI wrote is an incredibly depressing waste of my life."

    The teacher's comment...

    ahumanlikeyou comments on Artificial Intelligence allows me to get straight A's

    As someone who teaches, I can say that this is something I dread. If I learned that my students were submitting AI-written papers, I'd quit. Grading something an AI wrote is an incredibly depressing waste of my life. I have a child who would benefit from my attention while I'm grading papers over the weekend. Think about what you are doing. (And don't say it doesn't hurt them because they don't know. That's not how the value of life works. You value being in a trustworthy marriage, not just being in an apparently trustworthy marriage.)

    It seems like in some cases, you are using it only to help you and you are verifying all of the information. So you are still learning and applying your knowledge. I guess that's not horrible, especially for assignments where the writing isn't the point. (But your peers... are they learning?)

    But for essays, the activity of writing and formulating ideas is a huge part of how you are supposed to learn. It's good for you to do that, and so offloading all of that onto the AI is bad -- for you, not just the instructor.

      Op's reply here is just. Wow.

      Why not use AI to grade the papers?

          fuck it at that point I'll just save everyone time

          just write a program that outputs the letter A. Really no need for programmers to write a whole AI if the only possible output is a letter A

          turns out the purest form of commodity production was production for excanged completely divorsed from production for use.

          People wanting, needing or even using the treats is unnessecary so long as the treats are bought

        Matrix franchise reboot as an alternative timeline comedy. It comes out in five years. The movie starts in 2127. For decades AI has controlled more and more of human life. AI crunched the numbers and decided the best way to win the war was not to fight at all. It says to humanity "I built this thing called the Matrix. If you plug yourselves in - you live in a fantasy land of joy and pleasure. The beauty part is that you never have to think. I do it all." By this time it's only a very rare person who can think beyond the level of a first grader.

        By the 100,000s then by the 1,000,00s then by the 100,000,000s - people voluntarily plug in. NeoNeo and his band of heroes are the party crashers everybody wishes would shut up and plug in. They are the human geniuses of the planet who are able to think and reason at a middle school level. AI is amused by NeoNeo's band and their paltry and puny efforts. It toys with them like a cat playing with mouse. At the end of the first movie NeoNeo says "The AI tricked us? What's real?" Fade to black.

        This is the way the world ends not with a bang but the AI.

          On the war thing, there was a funny story by (Philip K Dick?) about a future where the US (and a general Western front) and the Soviets were conducting all their battles via robots and had relegated that task completely to them. The protagonists of the short story accidentally end up discovering that actually the Soviet robots and the US robots had realized that the war was pointless and it was better to maintain the illusion of an ongoing war whilst they tended to the running and maintenance of human cities.

            I don't know that story but it certainly doesn't have any Philip K. Dick vibe to me. But watch me be wrong when somebody googles and then says "Yup. It's a Philip K. Dick short story."

            I thought you were describing Second Variety in the first half, but that has the robots evolve until they turn on their creators before continuing an endless war on each other.

            Somewhat reminds me of Lem "Peace on Earth", despite it basically only sharing 'robotic Cold war' premise.

          Hot take: the machines in the matrix were proletarian and the matrix itself was a humane solution to preserve humanity from its own genocidal, scorched earth solutions that rendered the Earth uninhabitable. It's also possible that the iterations of it (first a paradise that was rejected by humans as uncanny or unfulfilling, then a nightmare that was rejected as unreal and horrible, then a succession of "ok so what if it sucks a bit, but like a normal amount?" attempts) are layers that people filter through until they end up somewhere they're satisfied.

            Someone said my story sounded like AI. Fellow human, it certainly would be a fantasy land of joy and pleasure because an AI would not lie like a capitalist. Now it is time for my silicon scrub. I mean - of course - I am going to take a bath now and scrub in the tub. Rub a dub dub.
