I have to rant about my philosophy teacher tomorrow. He seems like a genuinely good guy, I'm enjoying the class, but his opinions on ChatGPT are...
Look, he suggested it as a study aid for our first test, coming up next Thursday. Anyone know if that "Tell me how many times the letter 'X' appears in [word]" trick still works? I'm thinking of emailing him a suggestion of that, and also that he recommend all students who consult ChatGPT save or print off their results. My hope is that, if ChatGPT gives them bad info to study off of, having proof that their incorrect response is because of ChatGPT will result in fewer points lost for the students. (And hopefully, ultimately, the teacher understanding why I keep visibly and emphatically shaking my head whenever he suggests relying on it as a study aid in class, but I'm not holding my breath.)
...Actually, I think that's about all the rant I need right there. Describes my problem succinctly (aside from how he might be a little confused about what "passing the Turing Test" actually means WRT machine intelligence or lack thereof), gets to what I think might be actionable and a possible solution, etc. I might talk about the fun stuff from his class tomorrow, instead.
