.@melaniemitchell wrote an excellent post about testing #ChatGPT on exams: https://aiguide.substack.com/p/did-chatgpt-really-pass-graduate. Another question is if the consequences of using #AI systems like ChatGPT may be similar to previous observations of the 'irony of #automation' -- see attached page: James Reason. #Human #Error. For example, anecdotal evidence suggests that people without a good sense of orientation perform worse after relying on a navigator in their car for a few years.
Yes, I just read that - it's a very useful exposition about what really happened in these "exams". Unfortunately, that doesn't mean ChatGPT is _not_ able to pass most of our exams. Because, disturbingly often it does. And if that would not be the case, we wouldn't need to be worried about it.
The reality is: we need to rethink assessment, and to do that we need to be clear about our teaching objectives. I write about here: https://sentientsyllabus.substack.com/p/how-much-is-too-much
But @melaniemitchell 's article is important for our attempts to separate the signal from the noise.
