Everyone's talking about Pangram and other AI-detection software like GPTZero. They promise impressive accuracy at spotting AI-written text. Science journals are starting to use them. How good are they? @miryamnaddaf.bsky.social and I take a look for @nature.com 🧵 www.nature.c…

Seriously, this article contains such amazing ridiculousness. What fresh hell is this: "They'll be able to say, 'Hey, I'm student number 1234,' and then the robot will be like, 'Hey, we were talking about this yesterday, do you want to continue that conversation?" nysfocus.com…

Schools Went After Cellphones. Now It’s Time to Ban Generative AI. techpolicy.press
AI Weekly's analysis →
  • Two Brookings-affiliated scholars argue schools should ban student use of generative AI for essays, homework and coding until research establishes learning impacts.
  • They would preserve dedicated computer science and humanities courses where students study how AI systems work and critique societal effects.
  • The piece cites a 'junior-year wall' where students who leaned on AI in introductory CS courses later struggle with advanced assignments.
