When education focuses on correct answers and standardized tests and not developing logic, critical thinking, leaning strategies and cultivating understanding of concepts there’s no reason to not use AI, it’s not like students are being educated when they’re being taught how to pass tests as the top priority so the school can secure more funding.

I don’t totally get the use case for cameras plus single screen on lens.

You are the most gorgeous girl ever,” Lee reads off his glasses, which rescues his chances with her.

Ah.

I’ve got a buddy who is a professor and he catches llm cheaters by asking them difficult questions like “what was your essay about?” and “what were the three points you made in your essay?”. I’m sure llm proponents will offer some bromide about “tools aren’t inherently good or bad”, but it seems like the reality in college is llm tools are used for cheating.
