@lawprofblawg Awesome. So at the end of this scenario this guy would not have learned shit. His PhD cake has been baked by a machine, but he could present it as his own.
@tankgrrl @lawprofblawg imagine trying to defend your PhD thesis when Claude wrote most of it... (usually a 2-3hr interview where they ask you probing questions about your thesis to make sure you understand what you wrote and that you did in fact write it...)
"Urm... Yes I did it that way because...
"
What an absolute idiot -
I used to waste years preparing gourmet meals. It was creative, an expression of my humanity, and fostered zen.
Thanks to McDonalds, I don't have to do that!
AI fans are weird, delusional, and gullible.

@lawprofblawg Way worse. "I spent years learning how to prepare gourmet food but this machine turns ingredients directly into shit, no eating or digestion necessary - oh welp"...

@lawprofblawg It's not even McDonalds. It's like pieces of foam painted to look like food. It doesn't even perform the function it's purported to on a minimal level. It just looks like the same thing to a really noncritical observer.
That comment was written by someone who utterly fails to understand what research *is*.

@lawprofblawg I used to spend years lifting heavy weights, slowly building my strength and endurance, fighting through fatigue and lack of motivation.
A forklift could have lifted all that weight in an instant.
The weight lifting game has changed forever.

He completely missed the point what studies are for.
I hope he returns his PhD and resigns from his post. -

@lawprofblawg And you don't have to worry about food poisoning for your guests - all disease can be blamed on McDonalds. Which makes it good.

@lawprofblawg@mstdn.social but if the llm had read for him, what would he know?
Also, what kind of experiment would an llm be able to perform and test? None in the real world that I can think of.
(All that, on top of all the other issues with llms) -

@krig @lawprofblawg Ah a perfect analogy .

@lawprofblawg wait there's an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation about this. Q gets confused why Dr. Crusher insists on manually doing her research and experiments.
@c0debabe Do you recall which episode that is? I only watch TNG selectively and skip episodes with Q, but I’m curious about that interaction.

@lawprofblawg I got told by a family member that no one cares about my thesis so I should do it with chatgpt

@vitor I *think* it's part of the episode "True Q"

@lawprofblawg Wait to the moment Prof Lennart Nacke realizes, that ChatGPT can "read" these papers, but that does not mean, he as a scientist gains the knowledge.

@lawprofblawg I got my PhD free in a box of cereal. All I have to do now is ask Claude questions, but I'm too lazy to be bothered doing even that.

@c0debabe @lawprofblawg also one where artists just use An Interesting

not really food... so... mcdonalds?
I assumed it was all processed plastic like velveeta.

@lawprofblawg
There is a tremendous danger here that people start relying on #AI so much they don't bother to learn on their own, and eventually unable to "fact check" what they are told to know if it's correct or not.

(All that, on top of all the other issues with llms)@bovaz @lawprofblawg They are trying:
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.08.01.668204v1.full.pdf+htmlIt’s great to automate this, the reason we need LLMs for multidimensional optimisation when we have several numerical approaches for this is still unclear to me though.
