fair but you can still paraphrase chatgpt and your fine. Half the time essays are hard to due to writer’s block

then you're just using a tool. honestly, what's the problem? if you review it, edit it, and expand on it while verifying it, you've saved yourself a lot of grunt work while still doing everything actually important: the actual thinking. I use it for scenes in stories I write. I take the output, rewrite it as if I were editing my own writing, et voilà, free writer's block clearance.

It was always less how much you remembered and recalled, and more knowing where to look for the info and what info to look for.

Curious as a writer what you thought about the guy that made the kids book using AI?

not the same. using an ai image generator is different because you're not deriving your work from the output, but rather just publishing the output. I'm not making a judgement here, except that they're emphatically not the same thing.

This is going to be what I find impossible to prevent; paraphrasing it and rewriting it slightly in your own words. I suppose one way to check it would be to have another program input a bunch of prompts and compare the original essay for likeness, in the same way that there are programs already that scour scholarly works on the web and compare for likeness; except this time it’s testing AI outputs.

Now if only it could write mathematical proofs for me..

Edit: it can fucking write proofs

Yeah I heard the AI isn't really sophisticated for math

They’re wrong, it can write proofs perfectly. I think it has limited characters (ASCII) available to express certain concepts however; if it could freely use laTex I think it would be able to accomplish exactly what we’re discussing.

I asked it to prove all kinds of math problems ranging from simple (using mathematical induction, direct proof, contradiction to prove things) to complex (prove certain functions f: Z -> Z are injective, surjective, or bijective (both), prove that the cardinality of Z, set of all integers, is less than R, set of all real numbers) and in the cases I tried, the proofs were sufficient. Remarkable.
