A great many schools are banning the use of AI bots.
C'mon that's a Trumpian 'people are saying.....'
What I posted about measures educators are taking to manage the technology at least had sources displayed as it was composed.
I worked for AT&T Wireless as a B2B salesperson in the late 90's. Texting became available in '97-'98 as I recall, when digital networks replaced analog. I stayed away from gushing to customers about how our engineers said that 'someday' there would be phones with large color screens that accessed the Internet' after one responded 'please tell your engineers that in the short term a network that enables me to make and receive calls without dropping them or making me sound like I'm underwater' would be, nice.'
My point remains, in listing those tech innovations, that AI will very likely have the same growth curve and societal impact as those earlier tech products, probably most like the smartphone did.
This may not be the biggest leap but in the last 9 months or so the AI platforms have gone from demurring on requests for political parodies to 'certainly, here's a playful, lighthearted parody.....'
Also I don't see AI growth without a combo of self-regulation, gov regulation and software for educators that flags AI created 'book reports' no less efficiently than plagiarism software has done for years.
At the very least I see teachers who will be happy to see AI formatting in student work that has a premise, pros & cons, a conclusion and footnoting.
