This reminds me what Lu Xun once wrote:”但我總希望這昏亂思想遺傳的禍害,不至於有梅毒那樣猛烈,竟至百無一免。即使同梅毒一樣,現在發明瞭六百零六,肉體上的病,既可醫治;我希望也有一種七百零七的藥,可以醫治思想上的病。這藥原來也已發明,就是“科學”一味。”

Thanks! Another line about maps that I liked a lot: “A map is the greatest of all epic poems. Its lines and colors show the realization of great dreams.” by Gilbert Grosvenor, a former editor of National Geographic

It seems now ChatGPT has a built-in code detector that tells you if it wrote the code. I guess they also check the variable names, sequence of certain lines, plus similarities across the submissions.

btw Google Colab and VScode now both have built-in AI tools that help with debugging.

And students are supposed to explain their essays in the video?
November 25, 2024 at 2:47 PM
In computer science, they are already comparing AI-generated code with the code students submitted. But for me, the biggest challenge is not identifying AI essays, but to have enough evidence to convict students who cheated...

It is interesting to see that Mongolia is "aligning" with China, Korea, and Japan, instead of Russia and Central Asian countries, despite their languages and spelling systems being more similar.

Thanks for sharing! I will add it to my lecture next week!
