I mean we once had a student argue that it should be allowed to send nuclear waste to “some African shit hole country” to get rid of it. An AI won’t answer this appropriately because it isn’t allowed to start an answer with “listen here, cuntface”.
Well that’s an image…
John Oliver has a great episode on ai chatbots, how they don’t push back because of customer service reasons and end up helping teens plan suicide
When I yell at my students, but I know ChatGPT would’ve responded with ”you’re right to push back…”
While the teacher sucks, the sycophantic AI is itself a problem…
Sure AI sucks, but that teacher really sucks too. Sometimes a bad teacher can be worse than no teacher.
IS THAT A CGI TEAR?!
Given his acting range, I’m going with very yes.
One teaches boundaries about what is and isn’t appropriate while the other emboldens stupidity.
Yelling doesn’t teach. But I agree on the second part,
There’s definitely some lessons I learned that I will not forget because of the violence attached.
It absolutely does, but maybe not in the expected/intended way.
A great first step to combating the tide of stupid should include being able to call out dumbass questions.
This is stupid advice.
