@agtmadcat.bsky.social: Ah that's a really interesting approach! I didn't consider that they might just feed the exact prompt without providing any other instructions to the LLM!

Could everyone stop quoting the “hilarious” wrong answers given by google ai? It wasted a bottle of water to tell you that terrible joke, water is life, ai bullshit is death, what part of this is hard to understand

I'm a reference librarian and part of our work right now with weeding our collection has involved using search engines to see if some of our older materials are uploaded anywhere online. Right now I'm doing a couple hundred google searches each day and it's frustrating that whether I like it or not,

I'm forced to engage with AI. I can check archive.org and Hathitrust directly, but some of these books aren't there but are in other databases. I have to account for the fact that students who look for X or Y material may just do a google search.

Yeah. My partner is a professor, and if her students use AI to cheat, she has to use AI to catch them. It is incredibly frustrating

The "AI to catch them" has a super bad accuracy rate, as I understand it. But worth using at all, it just doesn't work. Better to look for different ways of measuring knowledge, probably. At this rate we'll end up totally back at aural exams before too long, huh? =P

I believe what she did was just feed the assignment in as a prompt to see if it would generate the same thing as the student paper, and lo and behold

Ah that's a really interesting approach! I didn't consider that they might just feed the exact prompt without providing any other instructions to the LLM!

But it makes a lot of sense. Students will use AI to avoid doing the work, right? So of course someone’s going to take the easiest possible route
