I had planned to have students in a class write a short literature review on some physiographic provinces in western US. Have done this for a few years. First draft is typically pretty dreadful, then I edit/suggest and send back for final. Still often not that great (this is a common problem at many universities).  So, I did the assignment with ChatGPT this morning. First draft was pretty good with some bogus info. I went back and told it to write a more scientific version. In less than 2 minutes I had a passable paper (it did not pass review by GPTzero however). I told it to rewrite as a scientific paper written by a human. GPTzero only detected about 40% of text as AI. I'm glad I'm retiring in a few weeks...

So that micro/macro level shaping is based on what? Decisions. Choices. Learned through environment and experiences. Interactions. Focus and discernment. "Agency" One of the older newcomer words relative to these sorts of discussions. An important word. Implying interaction through decisions even without choice. Hows and whys. What does it all look like when fed into a mechanical brain the size of humanity. I mean, juxtaposed with the information age.

That is awesome. Is it possible that AI can help refocus our humility in regards to life? Like a compass? Or a telescope?
