There’s an old New Yorker cartoon that shows a teenager, lifting weights to make himself strong and handsome. His mother rushes into the room, saying, “Honey, let me do that for you“. I’ve been sharing it in my lecture “Why We Should Not Plagiarize” for years.
Even before that handy cartoon appeared, I’d ask the question, “Would you go to a mechanic who cheated in his automotive repair classes? How about a doctor who cheated in medical school?”
(And would you vote for a commander-in-chief who avoided the military?)
Think this speaks to the epidemic of credentialism: socially and economically, a degree is a lot more valuable than knowledge, so there's naturally an incentive to cheat to get those credentials. Insane that a whole generation of students have convinced themselves that the classes they're paying $30,000 a year for aren't worth working in.
Having worked in both IT and Education, AI will take no prisoners; once it has captured all the nuances of languages, its work of brainwashing will be largely complete. Then it will begin the work of “cleansing” - deciding, without human input (for that will be a hindrance) who may live and who must be “eliminated” (killed)! AI will not settle for being a mere “language assistant” or search-engine servant; it wants -and aims to seize - TOTAL CONTROL!
