lots of colleagues spending lots of braincells on "how to prevent cheating at coursework using gpt" while i think this is the one real issue that should concern us as educators (i mean, assuming we don't care about the exploitation/pollution/ethical issues raised by the corporate-US-owned random word god-machine, which I doubt most ppl in my department give a shit about)

like i've never heard anyone arguing against saying/demonstrating "lol it's shit" to students, but official uni policy (here) always prevaricate with "responsible use of AI", colleagues shamelessly writing "responsible/safe ai" in their grants application and a line i've heard from multiple other academics being "it really helps make some documents more professional sometimes though!".

#also not clear who is in charge of the “lol it's shit” demo #like do we need to do that for every module?? do they do it at induction? mystery!#also there is the question of having demos that are no outdated by having whoever's writing the chatbot hardcoding answers to usual gotchas #probably a minor issue though; it just feels gross to use that thing in public at all tbh #like would you message cleverbot in a public lecture about programming in big 2024
