Employees use AI to craft resumes, Employers use AI to filter them
maybe this is more symptomatic. i have been through the academic wringer and have worked with ai technology in a professional way. from experience: ai is good at doing things, which have been done thousands of times (how else would it have learned it). and it can save you some time doing stupid tasks.
look at this the other way around: if ai is good at writing scientific papers, it has been done thousands of times and is unimaginative. this covers with much of my experience in academia.
i am not saying, that there are no scientific discoveries to be made anymore. quite the opposite. but i do believe that we overload students with stupid tasks and stress them beyond reason.
academia is very important. but as institutions of learning, discovery and preserving knowledge. over the years it has accumulated a lot of dead weight.
I would blame all of this on the goals of education no longer being about learning.
This was a problem before AI

Many of my classmates used chatgpt to write their code during the final exam.

tbf they wete already becoming useless, this just accelerated things.
schools have built themselves around around ratfucking public funds (via blank check loans to highschoolers, essentially), just like every other major industry in the US it seems
Well that’s because the government doesn’t want to fund them.
Well if you are educated and you have kids then please be sure they get a good education because the opportunities for real educated people are gonna be limitless.
In what jobs, exactly?
The jobs that require actual skills and talent have never been compensated well, and the fluff executive jobs are reserved for Nepo babies and people with connections.
The only thing real education is going to be good for in the near future is increasing your knowledge and anxiety about how screwed everything is.
Tech companies spend fortunes of borrowed money they’ll never recover *
Exactly. The LLM industry is operating at a loss of hundreds of billions of dollars a year. Investors are just handing the world’s wealth over to these companies that are going to go tits up the second they can’t fund everything on hype anymore.
It’s a race to become too big to fail.
oof :(
And also society suffers.
10 years before the first illiterate college grad.
Every time I see another AI headline, the Gamers Nexus “AI” video starts playing in my head.
