AI who?

Artificial Intelligence?

No, its Anti-Intellectual. 

There is a hype on AI and anything AI.

Those people that are not into AI or tech by profession are suddenly AI experts.

Most of the conference themes are focus on AI and Machine Learning in various trades.

Almost all of the industries or sectors are bracing the impacts of AI and what changes it might force them to make and what would be the risks/benefits for early adoption.

I consider myself an AI novice but I pay attention to what is not being said about AI.

A year ago, some of my students cheated on their essays using some ideas from ChatGPT and passed them as their own. It wasn't a pleasant experience but it's all lessons learned.

Using ChatGPT for academic purposes should be girded with guidelines or rules or else there's no distinction between real scholarly work and getting Google to do all the job for you. 

We live in precarious times where ethics and integrity take a second fiddle over growth, success, and worldwide domination.

​I fear that this AI hype will only fuel ignorant adherence that will create more mistakes and misapplications in many sectors. 

We all need to study more and ask better questions. 

There is no shortcut with an emerging technology such as this.
