“He’s telling us not to use it, and then he’s using it himself,”
Yeah it sucks but there is zero chance this argument holds any weight in court.
The problem is that a student has a reasonable expectation of being taught by someone qualified and knowledgeable in the topic. If the professor is using AI, then that is a major breach of trust that brings into question the professor’s qualifications and whether you are actually getting the education you are paying for.
Not to mention the risk of plagiarism
Yeah, I had teachers change the rubric on the day of the final and even after and the deans at UCSB didnt care at all. Teachers can do just about anything under the guise of education…
“He’s telling us not to use it, and then he’s using it himself”
Just because the teacher might have screwed up doesn’t change that experts in a subject can assess LLM output, while a student who knows jack shit about the topic can’t. Just because the teacher messed up and let ai weirdness degrade the quality of education in the eyes of students, doesn’t mean just anyone can use chatgpt to generate college courses.
I read the original article but not the interview. I wonder how much communication there was about the work before the student decided they deserved a refund.
Ya I mean, you could buy the teachers versions of textbooks on eBay in the late 1990s… pretty sure teachers didn’t want us using those.
Holy crap… slashdot still exists??
I checked it out again when reddit did their api fuckery. The progressives left and the libertarians are all that remain. I didn’t stick around long enough to get a better feel for the situation.
Apparently, Digg may be coming back.
If I see a representative or senator using ChatGPT, could I demand that he resign from his position?
You could, but you would be pissing in the wind asking.

I’m already asking, no one listens to the people anyway
LLMs should augment your skills not substitute them. That’s just laziness or incompetence.
Or worst case scenario it means your job is replaceable.
Agreed.
I’d be pissed too. This is sloppy as hell.
A while back I saw a post on Lemmy accusing ASU, who is publicly partnered with OpenAI, of trying to quietly replace advisors with chatbots.
It’s truly a dark time for USA higher education.
I had professor usi g worksheets watermarked by another professor at a college in another state, y’all think anything came of it? He also gave us all the answers to the tests in the form of self graded quizes and let us take them into tests.
HS diplomas became a joke, degrees are becoming a joke…
Why do people not review their LLMs output?
