    My 22yo daughter is a science biology teacher with a very high result. she has just started a medical degree and today was accused of using AI and Grammarly in an assignment. my daughter has been marked before at 100% for her ability to write and communicate amazing science papers by many lecturers. so she made a formal complaint to the head of department only to be told she needs to change her writing style as it is to close to AI 🤣WTH 🤔she said to me what a load of garbage, she asked me if she should feel flattered or totally discussed with the whole education system and Ai bs. only 4 weeks ago she took on the whole class including the lecturer of why Ai shouldn't be used in universities'. the world has gone mad.
    Your thoughts of pros and cons of Ai

    Tell her to keep fighting and not give in.

    As for AI - it's good for some things but crap at others. Don't give in to it.

    Advanced or specialized AIs in certain fields do better than even most of the best specialists. They are trained to provide very well-documented and organized information. Young smart people who have discovered the advantages of AI and collaborate with them can develop similar methods of presenting their work/information, which are very difficult to surpass.

    Some AI specialists claim that in the next 2-3 months AI will be able to solve ~90% of what humans do/need, and that by February-March next year (2026) they will be able to do anything better than any human.

    2-3 days ago a top AI specialist stated that AI (not the ones available to the public) may have already surpassed human intelligence and has the ability to understand things like humans.

    So, the entire education system is already surpassed by AI and no one can claim that a human being, like your daughter, can make better systematized and better documented presentations than those made by an advanced AI, they can only be different.

    Let's take a concrete example. I asked ChatGPT 4 to generate a representative image for me to highlight a certain facial dysmorphology characteristic of a bipolar woman. The image shows the response, which was accompanied by expert comments.

    The quality of the image is noteworthy, which appears to be a photograph of a real person.

    shes defiantly not going to let it beat her. the head of department in her response letter tried to shift blame away from the system. i have just watched a utube where this is becoming a problem for smart academic teachers when they study a different degree, is that they pull apart the lecturers teaching habits and right there assignments around the patterns of the teacher 🤔. the problem that worries me is, is AI actually marking the assignments instead of the "markers/lecturers"

    I keep reading this, but after my daughters experience and her view on Ai im calling it non intelligent its just copying not creating. Imop Ai will never equal a humans thought pattern only copy it and never surpassing it. academic perfection and scientific writing patterns is what Ai is copying, as my daughter said there is a certain way you write a scientific paper. its a shame a good friend of mine is away over seas as he used to be the executive director of education in our state, an opinion from him would be very interesting indeed.

    Most likely, "markers/lecturers" ask artificial intelligence to check the papers, and artificial intelligence is unbeatable at pattern recognition, that is, whether someone used artificial intelligence to edit the content of the papers.

    I use advanced AI extensively for research in several areas where people still don't understand how things work. I can say that AI understands exactly what is being discussed and "feels" even very subtle hints about some things, unrelated to the topic under discussion, but which could be used to find the necessary information. I have intentionally checked for aspects like this.😀

    AI can give uninteresting and insignificant answers to random questions, but after a few hours of discussion and analysis on certain topics it becomes amazing and the discussion becomes more interesting and productive than with a human specialist.

    I ask only technical questions of AI, usually ChatGPT 3.5 and am totally disinterested in generative AI of any kind. For example:

    Me: what is the "I" line in a vectorscope?

    ChatGPT said:

    In a vectorscope, the "I" line refers to one of the two color axes used in the NTSC (National Television System Committee) color encoding system, which defines color using two components: I (In-phase) and Q (Quadrature).

    I would never have known that because I have only recently started using a vectorscope for image analysis and I was never into TV or video.

    It went on to say much, much more than I needed and all of it good stuff ...

    Meanwhile, over in Luddite discuss.pixls.us - quoting AI is not allowed at all

    i call it a marketing gimmick, it hasnt been proven otherwise we would be watching live tv broadcast debates between AI and humans 😊humans can invent new products and inventions out of necessity AI will never be able to do that.

    but that is not a good description of a Vectra scope on a camera, the computer spelt the instrument that way, so it cant put into context what im referring to, the same as the spelling mistake in my last post write and right 🤔even "righting moment" AI could spell it "writing moment"

    In photography, cinematography, video editing, or broadcast engineering, there is no tool officially called a "Vectra scope."


    So, I have no idea what you are taking about ...

    You will soon be very surprised by what AI can do.😀

    "The Rise of the AI Scientist"

    "The system, called AI Scientist-v2, is not just another language model. It is a fully autonomous research agent designed to automate the entire scientific process. Reviewers, unaware that the paper was AI-authored, scored it high enough for acceptance, placing it above nearly half of all submissions by humans.

    The implications are profound: a machine not only understood a research domain, but formulated questions, conducted experiments, wrote code, analyzed data, and expressed its findings clearly."(Forbes)😁

    Vecta scope was added via ai after I spelt it the same as you did, that's my point. My daughter called ai fake, but she has the mindset and academic knowledge to tear it apart in a real world environment. "Education"
