So far, seems like the destruction of the Internet (all information at anyone's command) is the output of generative AI.

Seems to me the AI in Academia problem has a simple solution; go back to oral and blue book exams.

AI's a tool and as a time saver it may prove it's worth. Calculations that might take me up to half a day including trips back and forth to the bookshelves looking up formulas checking tables etc., even chatbot does in a few minutes and as you noted, shows it's work so I can check and verify. Admittedly what I'm doing is trivial but it does suggest possible value of the tool.

It hadn't occurred to me that AIs could code (I know a fact that should be self evident.) until I asked deepseek about CAD programs, our discussion leading it to writing code to build a 3D model in OpenSCAD.

Value vs cost though? DamnedifIknow.
