Mostly, it has always been vocational for the last 35+ years. I know because I’ve been fighting it that long…

I also know s few CS Profs who themselves use LLMs for planning course materials, including answering questions in class by typing them into ChatGPT and reading out the response. Students are pissed about this!

Professors that are planning to use AI because its inevitable, why resist?

vs

Those that are taking a critical evaluation approach.

Though majority (esp CS profs) have their heads in the sand-ignorance is bliss, or wait it out. Or, are demonically declaring a blanket ban w/o any guardrails.

If you agree with our 5 requests to our universities, please sign 🖊️ the open letter and don’t forget to confirm your email! ☺️🙏

openletter.earth/open-letter-...
• Resist the introduction of AI in our own software systems, from Microsoft to OpenAI to Apple. It is not in our interests to let our processes be corrupted and give away our data to be used to train models that are not only useless to us, but also harmful. • Ban AI use in the classroom for student assignments, in the same way we ban essay mills and other forms of plagiarism. Students must be protected from de-skilling and allowed space and time to perform their assignments themselves. • Cease normalising the AI hype and the lies which are prevalent in the technology industry's framing of these technologies. The technologies do not have the advertised capacities and their adoption puts students and academics at risk of violating ethical, legal, scholarly, and scientific standards of reliability, sustainability, and safety. • Fortify our academic freedom as university staff to enforce these principles and standards in our classrooms and our research as well as on the computer systems we are obliged to use as part of our work. We as academics have the right to our own spaces. • Sustain critical thinking on AI and promote critical engagement with technology on a firm academic footing. Scholarly discussion must be free from the conflicts of interest caused by industry funding, and reasoned resistance must always be an option.

Also awesome.

However, how about the analogy to Artificial Flight [Hayes & Ford, IJCAI 95]?

We have now reified the meaning of “smart”/“intelligent” to refer to phones, dishwashers, etc.

Awesome!

So, who was the distinguished Stanford Professor who predicted computer programming will be obsolete by 1963?

Best use case for Gen AI so far 😂

Maybe they had a family emergency…you shouldn’t be calling anyone out like this.

Sorry, Kevin Roose is a stooge for the tech industry…
