This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
what should we do then? just abandon LLM use entirely or use it in moderation? i find it useful to ask trivial questions and sort of as a replacement for wikipedia. also what should we do to the people who are developing this 'rat poison' and feeding it to young people's brains?
edit: i also personally wouldn't use AI at all if I didn't have to compete with all these prompt engineers and their brainless speedy deployments
The abstract seems to suggest that in the long run you'll out perform those prompt engineers.
How does it suggest that?
in the long run won't it just become superior to what it is now and outperform us? the future doesn't look bright tbh for comp sci, only good paths i see is if you're studying AI/ML or Security
Spoiler: no, it will not
so avoid LLMs entirely when programming and also studying AI/ML isnt a good idea?
Probably studying AI/ML or security is a fine choice if that's what you want to do. But if you want to go into CS, it's probably not a bad choice to do. IMO it's much less likely that AI will completely replace all or even many engineers (or people in other industries).
I mean, that’s not surprising.
What a ridiculous study. People who got AI to write their essay can’t remember quotes from their AI written essay? You don’t say?! Those same people also didn’t feel much pride over their essay that they didn’t write? Hold the phone!!! Groundbreaking!!!
Academics are a joke these days.
Ok, if the ai knows
And using a calculator isn’t as engaging for your brain as manually working the problem. What’s your point?
Yeah, I went over there with ideas that it was grandiose and not peer-reviewed. Turns out it's just a cherry-picked title.
If you use an AI assistant to write a paper, you don't learn any more from the process than you do from reading someone else's paper. You don't think about it deeply and come up with your own points and principles. It's pretty straightforward.
But just like calculators, once you understand the underlying math, unless math is your thing, you don't generally go back and do it all by hand because it's a waste of time.
At some point, we'll need to stop using long-form papers to gauge someone's acumen in a particular subject. I suspect you'll be given questions in real time and need to respond to them on video with your best guesses to prove you're not just reading it from a prompt.
Good article.
Don’t worry scro
