Enjoyed my conversation with @helenpearson.bsky.social on the use of AI in the universities.
AI tools can, within seconds, analyse information and write essays — some of the exact skills that universities teach. My @nature.com story examines what this means for universities & students: is this the future of learning of the end of critical thinking?

Universities are embracing AI: will students get smarter or stop thinking?
Millions of students arriving at campuses are now using artificial intelligence. Worries abound.

Today, I’m excited to present the first actionable step towards combating AI slop.

New data shows the ways millions of people have integrated AI into their everyday lives. Also, it suggests that for now at least, AI is an individual productivity tool — both at work and in our personal lives — rather than the broader workplace disrupter many in Big Tech predicted. on.ft.com/47cKBVN

Will AI Choke Off the Supply of Knowledge?
More people turn to ChatGPT and other large language models for answers, but they don’t add to the stock of knowledge.

Global ‘beta’ mode: The massive AI experiment
Global ‘beta’ mode: The massive AI experiment
“It looks like it was made by ChatGPT” is now a colloquial expression. It conveys poor quality, mental laziness, and a lack of spark; not superintelligence, despite OpenAI’s promises when it launched its GPT5 version. Nearly three years after this tool burst into our lives, the revolutions promised by the multi-billion-dollar commercial interests behind artificial intelligence (AI) haven’t arrived. Nor have the self-servingly prophesied apocalypses. Seguir leyendo

Just 5 weeks after I talked to the Time magazine's Andrew Chow and mentioned that "I am afraid in 6-8 months, there will be some policymaker who decides,
'let's do GPT kindergarten!", we are now getting news about Baby Grok.
This timeline is not the one I desire for our universe.

@meghanor.bsky.social article is exceptional, the concerns raised apply just as much to scientific writing.
You can use AI to generate ideas, to summarize, to even write your grants & manuscripts...but, ethics aside, do you miss out on 'the pleasure of invention'?

If we fail with Al in education, do other domains even have a chance?
Great to see the conversation taking place. We need more studies and more research done to truly understand where humans benefit from Al in the long term.

“A.I. isn’t going anywhere, so the crucial question is one of motivation,” our columnist David Brooks writes. “What do students, and all of us, really care about — clearing the schedule or becoming educated?” https://nyti.ms/44K3cat
