“I owe it all to Artificial Intelligence!”
First I must make a confession. Upon graduation from college, finding myself almost completely Nowhere in the job market, I signed up with a business called Creative Research. We wrote students’ papers for them. It was one of the few skills I’d picked up in school and college. All those years–yeah, I knew how to write a term paper. So I did it for money, till they passed a law against it. It wasn’t ethical, but it did sort of smack of the inevitable.
But now–!
“Turnitin” has scanned some 200 million papers written–well, supposedly written–by high school and college students: some were peer-reviewed , published scholastic writing (https://districtadministration.com/ai-writing-students-use-artificial-intelligence-papers/).
Well look at that! Fan my brow! Looks like the kids are gettin’ smarter by the day. Or else the unionized teachers have gotten real good at teachin’ ’em. Maybe both.
Call it what it is. They’re cheating.
Mine the defenseless public for money and keep Democrats in charge of everything. That’s really all there is to it. How “intelligent” is Artificial Intelligence?
Probably more intelligent than the students who depend on it to write their papers.
