Would the use of 'AI' be to aid learning (learning scaffolding) or replacement tools. Should they be incorporated to train for life (after the course).

As long as it doesn't start whining that it is "just a poor language assistant", I found it capable of maintaining quite a decent conversation despite the fact that when I tried it, it had no memory for its own lines and no access to internet or advanced computational resources. Of course, a lot of developers' time has been and will be wasted on compensating for general human stupidity and malevolence, but they are moving forward, believe it or not :-). | |
| Apr 23, 2023 at 23:06 | comment | added | Servaes | @fedja Only very recently have some AIs passed the Turing test w.r.t. to some people. For most people that have some clarity of mind and ability to reason, it is easy to distinguish these AIs from real people. If anything this serves as a reverse Turing test of sorts; these systems pass the Turing test w.r.t. to precisely the people they will soon replace. | |

Having tested ChatGPT like that, I had to hunt pretty deeply into my discrete mathematics text (and be clever about picking stuff I thought might be a curve ball) before I could find something it faceplanted on, | |

IMHO, they have passed the Turing test by now and are improving. If you compare with some speeches by politicians and administrators, I find the opuses created by ChatGPT more coherent and making more sense :-) Turning something "into very convincing words" is quite a difficult skill and many creative writing exercises test exactly that ability (there are few really novel things you can say about any widely discussed topic). But thanks for sharing your opinion :-) | |
