if GPT-3 can do the homework you assign your students then the homework you assign your students is fake notice what you did *not* say: "finally, GPT-3 will save us so much time analyzing international relations"

I had GPT-3 answer the kinds of questions I might ask undergraduate international relations students. These answers are all 100% AI-generated. Educators (like me) whose assessments rely mostly on student writing are going to have to adjust to a world where AI can do this.

if the homework you assign students is to build a chair and then they have to bring the chair into class and you sit on it, that is *not fake*. if a machine solved this problem for them it would *actually produce real chairs people could actually use*

this essay question garbage is fundamentally fake. every student knows the goal is to write some bullshit that sounds good enough that you're willing to assign it a good grade. you are not actually training the students to perform any kind of useful work and you never were

here's the opening of an essay i wrote as a sophomore in college. i don't remember writing this. i don't know a single thing about fMRI or the patriot act. i bullshitted this whole thing. this is what happens when you force students to write about shit they don't care about

this whole thing might as well have been generated by GPT-3 for all anyone could tell by reading it; it contains none of my actual writing voice, which i would not get back for another 8 years. there's none of my personality or life experience or soul in here
