      Which I think just illustrates that take-home essays aren’t a great way to do things now, if they ever were.

        I mean, graded take home essays are a waste. It’s like assigning weight training. Good for exercising, and we can talk about your form when you’re done.

        But as soon as you start stack ranking the results, the incentive to cheat outpaces the goal of practicing ingesting and outputing ideas.

      Reminds me of the ageless socialist joke:

      The boss pretends to pay us, and we pretend to work

        School is suppose to teach you how to critically think and learn. The material is mostly there to prove you have the ability to do it.

          In an ideal world, sure. School, largely, hasn’t taught that in a long time. That’s not how the incentive structures work. School is incentivized by grades, grades don’t go up with learning, teaching is hard, memorizing and regurgitating? That’s much easier. Tests have been changed to reflect that.

          Unless, you’re not American that is. I wouldn’t have any experience with a somewhat functional education system.

          Yeah, it’s because it’s not the school that is bullshit.

          It’s some of the stuff people do there. At the same time, some aren’t. And we are incredibly bad at telling the difference, and worse than useless on doing that at scale.

    Generally, I’m against advertising, but using it to poison AI output is something I can get behind.

    Several posts are saying this would be a good thing. Maybe, if implemented like the meme shows, but I worry ads in LLM chatbot output have the potential to be the most insidious and persuasive form of advertising we’ve ever seen. Chatbots are – by their nature – conversational and pushed in forms that are meant to eliminate any sort of thinking on the part of the user. And more and more, people are using them as their closest, most trusted confidants. Who’s to say a (e.g.) political candidate won’t pay to control the narrative of a chatbot, and have their propaganda (“ads”) appear as a private conversation between an individual and their trusted “friend” or “partner”?

      I was thinking this will be a good turing test. Going to be tricky for ad block to stop.

    Deploy the hypnobots! Marketing +10000%!

    The timeline with the current AI sounds like ripoff from “the paper clips” game, where the only task is to make the number go up. If you play that game, you’ll spot that dark patterns used have spread everywhere since.

    it doesn't end well for us.

    eventually consuming the earth and universe, converting them into paper clips. 100% addiction game.

    Note that 5th grade papers are always just horrible to read. This is why I don’t like LLM output, because it sounds just like 5th grade papers. Not a soul wants to read middle school papers.

    So I think broadly speaking the LLMs can generate middle school papers generally fine, at least they fit in.
