writing essays

Oh wow they'll just be like that.

I'm not even oppoposed to Universities having their own AI models, you can do actual scientific research with them. This does not include "write an essay" tho

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, there vould be real applications for llms, especially a proprietary one like this, but that never seems to be what any of this "ai" is every used for

broke: giving our fledgling academics access to AI to figure out statistical patterns
bespoke: giving our fledgling academics access to the AI that gives you cognitive decline

Look, for any teenager scrolling this. I am begging you. Just go to the highest ranking state school in your state bro. This is bullshit.

Paying out of state tuition is idiotic. Don't do it bros

We are excited to welcome our new Columbia University Machine Learning Organization Administrative Department (CUMLOAD)

Anthropoic, Gemini, and OpenAI have all had plans for universities for a while now. Columbia University has been partnered with OpenAI for a year, and I don't think this is radically different. The reason for this is that AI tools are being widely used in most industries (plus corporate clients will spend ungodly amounts on software like Matlab, and Solidworks), and model providers want as many people familiar with their systems as possible. Nothing has changed for students because of these plans — the ones that use these tools incorrectly will be harmed as per usual. The only difference is that whatever company that is making these services can push students at elite universities to lean their stack. Just like Solidworks student plans.
