"We're already seeing students who are deskilled on some of the most basic academic skills, even in their final years" @o_guest as quoted by @bcmerchant
Their paper urging educators and administrations to reject corporate AI products sounds worth reading.

Uncritical adoption of AI “undermines our basic pedagogical values and principles of scientific integrity. It prevents us from maintaining our standards of independence & transparency. And most concerning, (…) hinder learning & deskill critical thought.” https://t.co/9TUhMSukGt

People asked me often over the years... now it's over but finally sharing it: Course manual — including readings, instructions on how to write essays and give presentations — for the course AI as a Science that I taught from 2020/21 to 2024/25 in the School of AI. (Link below.)

“Even the term 'Artificial Intelligence' is widely misused, with conceptual unclarity coopted to advance industry agendas & undermine scholarly discussions. It's our task to demystify and challenge 'AI' in our teaching, research & engagement with society.”

¿De verdad un investigador de la UNAM diciendo que el entrenamiento de los modelos de aprendizaje profundo "es análogo al que los humanos experimentan"?

¿Entonces un humano necesita ver millones de imágenes de gatos para después poder reconocer uno?

Tremenda ignorancia.

600+ thank you all and keep sharing 😍

“The goal of academic training is not to solve problems as efficiently and quickly as possible, but to develop skills for identifying and dealing with novel problems, which have never been solved before.”
