My comment on AI is destroying my CS degree — Hacker News.I don't envy educators right now. AI clearly means you need to change how you teach and evaluate students. We are only a few years in though, and it's still extremely unclear what effective teaching with these tools looks like. The worst part is that the evaluation loop is measured in multiple years! If you start trying some new education mechanism today you won't get a robust idea of how well it works until your current cohort graduate in 3-6 years time. Students effectively all become guinea pigs for untested new ways of learning and teaching. Tags: education, hacker-news, ai, ai-ethics
