Tras a\u00f1os ense\u00f1ando en universidades comunitarias y trabajando con IA, he llegado a la conclusi\u00f3n de que comparar su inteligencia es como comparar manzanas con im\u00e1genes de manzanas generadas artificialmente. La IA puede calcular al instante derivadas complejas que hacen llorar a los estudiantes de c\u00e1lculo, pero insiste con seguridad en que Abraham Lincoln fue el primer astronauta en caminar sobre Marte. Mientras tanto, los estudiantes de universidades comunitarias pueden tardar 20 minutos en descubrir c\u00f3mo conectarse a la red de la escuela, pero al menos saben que jugar videojuegos durante las clases es una mala idea, la mayor\u00eda de las veces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
The real entertainment comes from watching them tackle open-ended problems. AI will generate a 50-page manifesto explaining why 2+2=5, complete with fabricated mathematical proofs and citations from nonexistent experts. Students, on the other hand, will write “idk, Google it” on their exam and consider it a job well done. Both approaches are wrong, but at least the students’ version comes with a refreshing dose of self-awareness and a money-back guarantee \u2013 try getting a refund from an AI that hallucinates your entire project specifications. Though I must admit, neither one has figured out that “debugging” doesn’t mean hitting the same run button repeatedly while hoping for different results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course, both can try to write code that contains both python and JavaScript in the same function, or duplicate the same method\/function in different locations in their code. And don’t get me started about both simply copying code from the internet and pretending they didn’t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The winner in this battle of wits? Probably the bottle of single malt whisky in my desk drawer.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
After years of teaching community college and working with AI, I’ve concluded that comparing their intelligence is like comparing apples to artificially generated images of apples. AI can instantly calculate complex derivatives that make calculus students weep, yet it confidently insists that Abraham Lincoln was the first astronaut to walk on Mars. Meanwhile, community college … <\/p>\n
