Work on something you’re excited to wake up in the middle of the night for.
Because your head is racing and you can’t put down the pen. Because it moves and fulfills you. Because you can’t imagine doing anything else.
Everyone deserves this type of work.
AI is going to transform education, even if AI technology does not improve further
But I think education may be able to adapt to AI far more effectively than other industries & in ways that will improve both student learning and the lives of instructors https://t.co/prg1eJiFyQ
We have a new paper on how instructors can use ChatGPT and Bing to apply complex pedagogy to their classes, while making their lives easier, too. There are lots of prompts to try out.

Greg Brockman (@gdb) of OpenAI just demoed GPT-4 creating a working website from an image of a sketch from his notebook.
It’s the coolest thing I’ve *ever* seen in tech.
If you extrapolate from that demo, the possibilities are endless.
A glimpse into the future of computing.
The traditional definition of AGI is “what if you had AI that could do pretty much what any average human could do”.
I think we’re going to skip right over that and land much closer to “what if you had AI that could do what the 95th percentile in every field can do”.
I got access to the Bingbot! I decided to test it with a topic on which I teach graduate seminars. I treated it like one of my students, asking questions to test whether it really understood the material. It did well, and is unnervingly good at following dialectic logic.
Fast-growing company is looking for an instructional designer / curriculum developer that speaks Spanish natively. Based in or willing to travel regularly to Utah strongly preferred.

DMs open.
@mattsuthe Classrooms full of shelf ware. Last thing teachers are asking for is another manual task.
If you could seamlessly inject it into their existing submission pipeline, that’s one thing. But again… kinda pointless given how easy it is to change up a bit.
Spent some time building and testing these detection tools with teachers. They said they wanted it.
But it doesn’t work and they wouldn’t use it anyway. Showing how to use AI for deeper learning made classes better with less work. Wins all around.
I think this is important enough that it bears repeating: You can't detect ChatGPT content if people spend any real effort.
I know because I had my students "cheat" & use AI; when they co-created essays with the AI, GPTZero failed & the essays read well. https://t.co/NtDh8waCTG
