Your PhD is about the evolution of your mindset.

It proceeds through personal research experience, mentorship and development of key skills.

This is why PhD in STEM:

- is NOT about a thesis (very few people will read it)
- is NOT about finish your advisor’s project
- is NOT about attending new courses
- is NOT to learn how to use cool instruments (although it might be handy, it is of little help in a long run)

Yes, some of it will help you get hired. BUT PhD should not be about this.

▫️

PhD is about personal development, creativity and problem solving in a highly dynamic research environment.

First of all, it is about:

- Becoming a highly critical and creative thinker
- Learning how to think independently (against the local or global mainstream)
- Learning how to “jump-start” a project and bring it to perfection
- Discovering your strengths and weaknesses as a future leader
- Learning from massive number of mistakes without big consequences
- Learning how to accept failures and move on
- Understanding the value of teamwork and collaboration
- Publishing important studies and making discoveries (especially if you plan to stay in academia)

▫️

Of course, there are some “perks” that come with it:

1. Getting a good expertise in some field
2. Getting some idea about the world of academia and how things work there
3. Learning how to use fancy tools (microscopes, spectrometers, etc)
4. Learning how to write papers, etc etc

But these are only bonuses. They should not be why you are pursuing PhD.

▫️

As a prospective PhD student, do NOT look for a supervisor who will be simply assigning tasks to you and tracking your project.

Look for a good mentor and advisor who can help you develop YOUR leadership skills.

A proper research environment and inspiration to pursue your dreams are the key ingredients.

50% of StackOverflow traffic is gone!

Look at the attached chart. It tells a scary story that will not be limited to StackOverflow.

Right now, detecting AI-generated content is impossible.

Last week, OpenAI shut down the tool they created for this purpose. They launched it in January, and it's dead today, less than seven months later.

Their statement: "The AI classifier is no longer available due to its low rate of accuracy."

I'm not surprised about any of these two events.

I don't remember the last time I visited StackOverflow. Why would I when tools like Copilot and ChatGPT answer my questions faster without making me feel bad for asking?

And I'm even less surprised about OpenAI killing their tool: Many believe detecting AI-generated text is impossible. I'm one of them.

Here's what OpenAI had to say about this:

"We are (...) currently researching more effective provenance techniques for text, and have made a commitment to develop and deploy mechanisms that enable users to understand if audio or visual content is AI-generated."

Notice how they differentiate text from audio and visual content. For the latter, they seem confident they'll find a way to recognize humans from AI. For text, they are not and are word-salad'ing us with a vague "researching more effective provenance techniques."

StackOverflow famously banned any AI-generated answers from the site.

That's the wrong move.

Instead, we need to find a way where human and AI-generated content coexist and benefit from each other. There's no putting the genie back in the bottle, so how can we get the most out of it?

Do you think StackOverflow will survive? What can they do to fend off what seems to be a life-threatening event?
