I’m not supporting higher education becoming reliant on for-profit companies like this, but AI tutors and the like, if properly implemented, would be kinda awesome. For example, it’s usually not feasible to have real life staff on hand to answer student questions at all hours of the day. Especially at the more early years of university, where content is simpler, AI is more than capable of meeting needs like this.
I don’t fully agree with most of the people on this thread. I also hate AI slop being forced into what feels like all aspects of our life right now, but LLMs do have some genuine uses.
I think this fairly often when I see some of the things that have been created for RPi hardware. Some things are cool, but most fall into the category of “it’s cool that this exists”, but doesn’t really have a purpose beyond that.
