Yeah, I think there was something like that floating around. I imagine it’s costly, though, but it’d be nice to have.

I like the concept and I have it installed, but I don’t contribute to it because I find it challenging to think of better titles. It’s not easy like with Sponsorblock that I regularly submit to. For example, sometimes I need to watch most of the video first to be accurate, and by then I’ve already moved on to the next video. Other times it’s simply hard for me to condense the content of the video accurately into so many characters when the original title is way off.

I do like the way it makes all the titles lowercase, though. I find that changes the tone of the video feed quite a bit.

I quickly learned how ChatGPT works so I’m aware of its limitations. And since I’m talking about university students, I’m fairly sure those smart cookies can figure it out themselves. The thing is, studying the biological sciences requires you to understand other subjects you haven’t learned yet, and having someone explain how that fits into the overall picture puts you way ahead of the curve because you start integrating knowledge earlier. You only get that from retrospection once you’ve passed all your classes and have a panoramic view of the field, which, in my opinion, is too late for excellent grades. This is why I think having parents with degrees in a related field or personal tutors gives an incredibly unfair advantage to anyone in college. That’s what ChatGPT gives you for free. Your parents and the tutors will also make mistakes, but that doesn’t take away the value which is also true for the AIs.

And regarding the output that appears correct, some tools help mitigate that. I’ve used the Consensus plugin to some degree and think it’s fairly accurate for resolving some questions based on research. What’s more useful is that it’ll cite the paper directly so you can learn more instead of relying on ChatGPT alone. It’s a great tool I wish I had that would’ve saved me so much time to focus on other more important things instead of going down the list of fruitless search results with a million tabs open.

One thing I will agree with you is probably learning how to use Google Scholar and Google Books and pirating books using the library to find the exact information as it appears in the textbooks to answer homework questions which I did meticulously down to the paragraph. But only I did that. Everybody else copied their homework, so at least in my university it was a personal choice how far you wanted to take those skills. So now instead of your peers giving you the answers, it’s ChatGPT. So my question is, are we really losing anything?

Overall I think other skills need honing today, particularly verifying information, together with critical thinking which is always relevant. And the former is only hard because it’s tedious work, honestly.

If I had access to ChatGPT during my college years and it helped me parse things I didn’t fully understand from the texts or provided much-needed context for what I was studying, I would’ve done much better having integrated my learning. That’s one of the areas where ChatGPT shines. I only got there on my way out. But math problems? Ugh.

a sensei who keeps demanding you figure problems out on your own in order to learn and level up.

Ain’t nobody got time for that. I don’t need or want to spend my time debugging my OS for it to do what I want, I already did that and I did not exactly “level up” but I did waste a lot of time.

I know what you mean. I’ve had more than one conversation with devs who didn’t understand design basics.

For me, it was the interface. I found it rough around the edges and not as inviting as Twitter used to be. I know it’s seen as superficial but UX/UI is important.

Like, for example, to create a post or reply, the input was on the left navigation panel for some reason. I used to have trouble visually separating one post from the next in my head until I got used to it. Also, the way thread comments were nested could’ve been improved. And why did it only show me the top 5 trending news stories? Why couldn’t I browse more? Idk, overall I felt like I was fighting the UI mentally.

I think Lemmy did a better job subtly improving on the details. I didn’t see Mastodon doing that much when I was on there.

They’re injecting microchips! Said no antivaxx about this ever.

You’re a true warrior tolerating that. It gives me headaches.

E: And you even set up Storybook? Respect.

Please! I miss my Action Script 3, not this cheap wannabe TypeScript 😭

It’s a joke

Can we not do away with CSS/JS, learn from those mistakes and try something else? Pls, I beg you 🥺🙏

E: Sorry, forgot the /j Lighten up, Lemmy, not everything is a serious comment that needs your scrutiny or meticulous rebuttals.

Hah! Joke’s on you. I accidentally restarted my PC and updated it without wanting to.

If you can automate your happiness with an .ahk script, I don’t see why not!

Seems like a regular thing happening on Xitter nowadays. Another day, another heavy load that doesn’t flush, I guess.

Damn, your girl’s got moves!

With how politically involved he wants to be now with his ridiculous and probably illegal PAC, it wouldn’t surprise me if this was a stunt to eclipse Kamala’s VP pick announcement.

What, only he gets to be delulu? Hold my tinfoil hat, fam.

Not fair, he’s already made billions from (everybody else’s) hard labor!
