Visions of the GPT-4 era

My day job is as a teacher. It's going to make it very hard. I can catch plagiarism easily, but AI written work is going to be harder to catch until someone makes a software capable of detecting it reliably somehow. Kids these days have no writing skills at all and having this option is going to make them even dumber. This next generation is REALLY dumb. No attention span, no ability to write or think critically.

Gonna have to be proactive. People are going to use it—and use it inappropriately, without understanding the limitations. Might be better to teach them how to use AI tools appropriately (eg. one tool for quickly creating a plan/scaffold, another for references, yet another for quickly turning info into effective presentations, etc). I dunno. We can't avoid the future.
