It is no longer effective to solely use a written essay to measure how deeply a student comprehends a subject.

AI is here to stay; new methods should be used to assess student performance.

I remember being told at school, that we weren't allowed to use calculators in exams. The line provided by teachers was that we could never rely on having a calculator when we need it most—obviously there's irony associated with having 'calculators' in our pockets 24/7 now.

We need to accept that the world has changed; I only hope that we get to decide how society responds to that change together .. rather than have it forced upon us.

Let's not assume a lot right now. OpenAI and other companies are torching through cash like drunken socialist sailors. Will AI be here as a Big Data 2.0 B2B technology? Most likely, but a viable model where students and laypeople have access to it? To be seen.

We all mooched off of dumb VC money at one point or another. I acquired a few expensive watches at Fab dot com at 80% off when they were giving money away, eh.

Just some random capitalist virtue signaling. Not really an expression people use.

Seems the implication is socialist sailors are spending someone else’s money on their drink, as opposed to hypothetical capitalist sailors who spend their own money.

This is similar to how the AI companies mostly spending VC’s money buying these accelerators from nVidia.

Sailors from certain former socialist states have a reputation for drunkenness that goes beyond the normally high levels of drunkenness of other sailors.
