I built many game-like simulations for teaching & our early prototypes had students communicate with a human game master. For most people, having the option to do anything was paralyzing. It worked better when they were given choices. The chatbot interface has the same problem.

AI Writing in Scientific Papers: Benefits Beyond Fraud Concerns
By
–
There is no doubt that AI writing is becoming common in scientific papers (60,000+ papers in 2024), but I don't think everyone should assume that is bad/fraudulent. Many papers are badly written. Getting help with writing from AI could be a positive thing https://

AI Detection Challenges Force Teachers to Adopt Low-Stakes Testing
By
–
You can't easily detect AI use, so, if teachers don't want to change their instruction to adapt to AI, they are going to need to move back to more in-class low stakes testing. On the plus side, low-stakes testing is one of the most powerful learning (not just assessment) tools.

AI as problem solver: A test of LLMs on "MacGyver-like" problems requiring novel solutions Out-of-the-box, GPT-4 only does okay, but when prompted to "think" conveniently & divergently, it is close to the average human, and can exceed them in many cases. https://

AI Voice Lip Sync: Limited vs. Full Character Generation Capabilities
By

This is pretty impressive but not quite as impressive as it seems. It is 100% AI generated voice and lip synching, but there are a limited number of actors/scenes to chose from, it isn’t that you are creating a character from scratch in the way that Runway or Sora attempts to do. https://t.co/3sdWYRqBCZ

LLMs Demonstrate Creative Capabilities Across Novel Complex Tasks
By
–
I would add that by every measure of creativity we have (all of which are flawed, which didn't matter when we were only measuring humans) LLMs produce creative results And frontier LLMs operate on a high level on novel managerial, medical, and legal tasks. Its all kind of weird.
