I am a student in CS, and today my uni has completely changed its policy on AI. They used to completely ban it. Now, professors use LLMs to make their course materials, generate illustrations etc. They encourage using LLMs to understand courses, to work on our projects… I have one practical session where they straight up give us the prompts to use if stuck.
Now, I might get hate and I understand it, but they are truly useful. A course that would’ve taken a whole weekend to understand is all wrapped up in a few hours. You can ask very specific and “niche” questions it’ll understand and explain in the words that are most adapted to you.
Yes, I use LLMs. I do not condone generating “art” from it like images, videos or music.
But it’s such a great tool and a teaching mentor. If you don’t use it to do your homework for you but to have a better understanding of topics you’re not familiar with it, I find it valid.
This isn’t a proof of mass surveillance. He’s one of the most famous people on earth and he’s probably the target of many hackers.
