the problem is "garbage in..." analogy is that, it assumes that if training data is somehow "good", the tool could work too. however, no matter how clean, representative the data is, you simply cannot build a system that detects "pedophile" because it is not a phenomena that can be read off faces
This phrasing is so so so important. The "dehumanized process of synthetic text production" is not the same thing S "writing". And maybe that's what we need to focus on. Clarifying what writing is that GPT is not. Because I so so so hate reading GPT written work. It's soulless
There is definitely potential for generative AI to enhance students' writing practices as a tool, but the road we're traveling down does not end there. It ends in a dehumanized process of synthetic text production. That's not the same thing as writing.
A future of students working inside the walls of a GPT-mediated experience is easy to envision because it gets rid of the messy work of teaching and the expense of instructor labor, but it is a disaster when it comes to developing intellectual and emotional capacities.

No, but I remember that you tried, so I try too, I guess? And I think it opened up doors to talk to others in the same space, I think, rather than endure in silence.
