The way higher education is structured limits true learning. Instead of becoming a society of free thinkers and innovators, we've become reliant on standardized testing and memorization. If you want to succeed in college the way it is today and has been for decades, become a great regurgitator.
Learn the vocabulary, cite the sources, tell Sarah you liked her post, take the test: A+
There's been this underlying uneasiness that something needs to change with our educational system. I think if you asked most people, "kids are critically thinking less" would not be an unpopular opinion - and that's not because of AI, this has been the trend for a long time.
Now, we have machine learning and language models that do repetitive and tedious tasks quite well. Suddenly, every student has the ability to regurgitate information at their finger tips, in an effortless fashion. Teachers, professors, faculty are scrambling because this underlying problem with our educational system is now being spotlighted as a glaring problem in our society and they're pointing at AI as if that's the issue.
In a panic, universities are attempting to block this new technology by using faulty AI detectors, plagiarism detectors that detect student names, and having students sign legal documents promising they won't use ChatGPT.
So instead of a mediocre educational situation, we now have tons of friction and hoops students have to go through just to learn nothing.
