Employees use AI to craft resumes, Employers use AI to filter them
What's gotten out of control is you posting a screenshot of a headline. It shows you don't read.
Which is just as embarrassing as using AI
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.
what is the source of this image? looks like there should be an article associated
OP's brain is so rotten and destroyed, they don't know how to link to articles.
They think that posting an image of a headline is "reading". Similar to folks who think typing a prompt into AI is "writing"
Here's the article. It's an excellent read: https://www.currentaffairs.org/news/ai-is-destroying-the-university-and-learning-itself
This community really needs ~~better~~ moderation IMO.
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.
Unfortunately job applications have been screening resumes with AI for decades.
And AI can't tell the difference between educated folks and not, so you're fucked.
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.
Many of my classmates used chatgpt to write their code during the final exam.
You were allowed to use computers/phones during exams? Thats new
Our boys used hidden phones to access chatgpt for code though
Tech companies spend fortunes of borrowed money they'll never recover *
oof :(
10 years before the first illiterate college grad.
degrees have bsen meaningless for a while if we're talking finding employment, LLMs just make it worse
Every time I see another AI headline, the Gamers Nexus "AI" video starts playing in my head.
"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
