Generative AI for College: Wrong Answers Only
text Heading link
Chat, we GPTing?
Yeah. We are.
Last year, one survey found that 56% of college students had used AI on assignments or exams. But you didn’t need me to tell you that. Odds are, you’re the 56%. (That’s how odds work—56% is a majority).
Whether its ye olde ChatGPT or the hot new cast of generative AI (GenAI for short) programs—Claude, Mistral, Midjourney, Gemini (don’t trust it), Copilot, etc.—students around the world are using the new technology to get the upper hand in college. So why not you?
Here are just a few ways you can auramax with generative artificial intelligence at UIC.
Use GenAI to Create Innovative Coffee Orders
Who orders “a coffee”? Please. Have some standards. GenAI can help you spruce up your coffee order so you, too, can ruin a Dunkin’ employee’s shift! Iced London Fog? We can do so much worse than that.
Ask GenAI to Explain Your Significant Other’s Confusing and Infuriating Messages
Is your significant other Not Making Sense™? It’s a tale as old as time, and soon it’ll be a thing of the past entirely. GenAIs like Claude have consumed more human language than any human on the planet, including your tweaking significant other. Forget grandparents and older siblings; ask Claude what your soon-to-be-ex is doing wrong. Claude knows.
Avoid Choosing A Major By Having Gen AI Explain Why Each One Is Problematic
You’ve been a college student for less than eighteen seconds and someone is already auditioning for the role of Annoying by asking you what you’re going to major in. But don’t swipe left just yet. GenAI can catch you up to speed by explaining what’s wrong with every major, and with that knowledge, you can shut the question down immediately, no matter who’s asking. Is Uncle Whatever saying you should study Engineering? See how he feels when you inform him that every war since the dawn of time has used engineering. Is that what he wants? War? Then maybe he shouldn’t be asking annoying questions.
This is just one example of how GenAI can help you avoid choosing a major.
Tired of Boring Old Water? Use Gen AI To Remove It From Menus Everywhere (By Removing It From the Planet)
Why do people still drink water? It’s 2024. We’re minutes away from the first person uploading their consciousness to the wrong Google Drive account by accident and getting locked out of it because they forgot their password. Maybe our ancestors needed water, but we’re built different. It’s time for H-2-0 T-O G-O. Lucky for us, that’s exactly what GenAI is making happen!
Keep using it for your everyday needs, like innovative coffee orders, and soon you’ll never have to deal with that annoying friend who only gets water at the restaurant. They won’t even be able to!
