>She also uses AI when she has trouble turning her thoughts into words. “I want to comment, and I have this concept, but I don’t know how to formulate the sentence myself,” she said. So she asked a chatbot “to make it sound more cohesive.”
In classes I would feel embarrassed because I had a thought but it wasn’t elegant enough and sounded different from how I imagined myself saying it. Sometimes people shared thoughts in discussions but admitted that they had no idea where this is going, as they brainstormed aloud
>AI-induced homogenization happens across three dimensions: language, perspective and reasoning strategies, the authors explained. That’s because AI models tend to reproduce what researchers call “WEIRD” viewpoints — Western, educated, industrialized, rich and democratic — even when explicitly prompted to represent other identities.
Would be interesting to see whether chatbots are used by students in other countries and what answers they get, whether it is in a Russian classroom or Indonesia
It makes you wonder about the parts of our voices and ways of writing that were developed by struggling with language, but no longer. All the vocab, sentence structure, and ability to structure thoughts could be lost.
I haven’t read the article yet but there’s so much good that can come out of being able to brainstorm in a “safe space” with something like ChatGPT.
There’s bad that can come out of it as well, but no one is afraid to ask dumb questions anymore because ChatGPT is not only non-judgmental, it’s incredibly reaffirming
How convenient.
I had a couple fairly rigorous college writing classes over a dozen years ago and am currently working on finishing a bachelors. There have been so many papers I’ve written that I feel will probably get a B, but I end up getting nearly full marks on them.
I’ve felt it was due to a few things: profs being pressured to pass more students, me being the ‘old guy’ in class, and more and more students using ai to write. That last one edges further into the lead every time I see classmates’ papers. It’s not even that they all sound similar. They all feel so devoid of character/soul. There’s just no individualism to them.
Goodbye cognitive function and a generation of people able to critically think.
