On the other hand my girlfriend is a teacher and for the past year ChatGPT has allowed her to augment her lesson plans with slides/games/etc that have had a very positive effect on student engagement. She also uses it to help with analysis of testing data against her lesson plans and state standards to find places to shore things up as the year progresses. She runs the english language learning department in her school and also uses it to help ensure that there is representation in her materials for the huge mix of cultural backgrounds of her students.
It's truly helped her immensely and it's all been on her personal account. The district has no program or budget to guide or support teachers and admin on using these tools in education.
Schools for the poorer segments of society keep adding more and more technology, eroding the analytical skills of their students and But the shiny things keep the poorer parents and teachers happy while keeping down cost per lesson per child. This keeps the administrators happy.
Meanwhile ultraexpensive elite private schools for the children of the Zuckerbergs, Al Sauds, Al Nahyans emphasise tradition, classical studies and analytical skills while relegating technology to a minor role
Whenever I see these Frontier Labs "publish a paper" on ArXiv.org the phrase Esse Quam Videri strides past my mind—is this genuine progress or merely a marketing metric for their stakeholders?
When I read artifacts by Frontier Labs I notice a trend towards deteriorating lexicographic architecture. Like how a textbook or larger tomb is constructed for the reader to navigate.
Instead, now I see continuous monotonic text. It’s as if the author expects us to chuck the artifact into an LLM in order for it to inform us of meaning.
That and all the figures were at the bottom which was kind of annoying.
Seriously, the best blog post on this subject has to be Ludicity: https://ludic.mataroa.blog/blog/ai-mania-is-eviscerating-glo...
It's almost as though there's some worry that the wheels are going to come off before the right people are able to cash out.
