Reply to comment by Lance-Harper in ChatGPT: students could use AI to cheat, but it's a chance to rethink assessment altogether by calliope_kekule

The problem is when you need to teach -- and assess the homework of -- dozens of students. Education needs to be offered to the masses, but the way it's done today is to put so many people together that the teacher has no option other than not look at how each student develops. This becomes a larger problems in colleges and universities with more than 60 students in each classroom, and teachers having to work on several of those simultaneously.

Yes, I totally agree. I was a teacher for a hot sec until I saw that it wasn't worth it in the long run. Anyways, I quickly realized that it is so tough to teach to individual students vs. teach to the class and then differentiate in worksheets (easy, medium, hard) but all of that takes time to organize . So with this new technology that can further individual teaching and help educators!

I think it will play out the same way across all areas: the good and the smart adapt and evolve to make something greater than we've ever seen, while a bunch of lazy mofos make everyone look bad.

They're gonna hate it even more when AI turns out to make a way better educator than the teachers too

you're getting down voted, but I've had some pretty lacking teachers...and chatGPT is quickly replacing the ways that I supplement the gaps in my learning. Instead of watching hours of YouTube, or trying to rely on poorly written textbooks, chatGPT has made the learning process interactive with decent explanations of concepts that i might be struggling with.

Will it replace the better professors I've come across? No, that's impossible.

But it does help when I have trouble with the course information and am experiencing a disconnect between the instructor, the material, and my learning process for whatever reason.

Yeah 100%, I'm a developer and I'm using it every day to save time sifting through results on Google to figure out how to solve problems. It's not always right, but sometimes it gets you on the right track anyway.

This right here. As AI gets better, the days of reading and trying to remember 500 page text books are numbered. You may start seeing books that are just outlines of concepts and you go through that asking the AI questions and working on that and fine tuning the questions to get to what you need to know.

Now add in AI generated videos to go with the explanation of the topic being worked on.

which is probably already possible, using the ai key frame generation based on DALL-E
