It is just speculations. If we rely on LLMs, then something bad happens. Truly, something will happen, but will it be bad? A calculator ruins people's ability to do mental arithmetic, is it bad? I'm not sure, why I'd need to do mental arithmetic. Writing ruins memory. Is it bad? Probably, but I know no people who would reject writing to exercise their memory. Moreover, if it will be so bad, as the author think, we can just spend like 15 minutes per day, to train the abilities that become unused with LLMs. And LLMs could help us to do it, so it will be like 15 min/day, not 2 hours/day. > My son is in school. And the teacher literally said they need to use an LLM and the teacher is using an LLM to grade/check it. This is ridiculous. I don't know, if it is ridiculous. I like LLMs, they really help to learn things. I mean, yes, LLMs can be detrimental to learning, if instead of doing a task at hand, the student will be asking LLM to do the task. But it can be a real help, because with the help of LLM you can do tasks, you cannot do without it. You can do tasks faster, and to do more of them. LLM can be bad for learning or it can be good, it depends on how it is used. The teacher using LLM is very interesting. When I was at school, I thought I was smarter then my teachers at school, and I didn't like them, some of them I just hated. If they were using LLMs, I'm sure I would figure out ways to do tasks in a way, so their LLMs would hallucinate and grade my work wrongly. You can always complain and make the teacher to check it without LLM. Let them spend additional 10 minutes grading, and do it in front of other pupils, so teachers would need to admit their mistakes publicly. I would definitely do it. I did something like that with math, I would go for any length to find some non-standard solution for a problem, that cannot be checked by checking numbers in specific places of the solution. It made the teacher to make mistakes while grading, I just loved it. But if I had LLM... I would definitely do it with literature and history also. My math teacher was not so bad after all, but I hated the literature and history ones. |
