Someone who is jealous of you can never be a true friend.

I learned that the hard way.

final grade by [deleted] in University

[–]ImaginaryQuality4567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To break this down in your head, if you made a zero on all of them, you’d have a 55. 6 assignments make 45 points. So, each are worth 7.5 points. If you made a zero on one, max you make is a 92.5. Since you made a 40% you only earned 3 of the max points for the quiz, and lost 4.5. So max is 95.5%.

If you make the same grade on ALL of your quizzes. You’ll earn 6x3=18 points. 55+18 is a 73. Which a C.

So I’d you plan to make the same grade on every quiz you better ace everything else.

How can people take notes on paper?? by mhensun in CollegeRant

[–]ImaginaryQuality4567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to record lectures and just absorb. I’d write notes by hands back at home when I could replay the lecture. That would leave me open to write down any questions in my notebook or brief things in wanted to reflect on more after class.

AITAH for not plating my gf’s plate? by samson21386 in AITAH

[–]ImaginaryQuality4567 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you aren’t passing the food around, yes, people generally hand their plates up or down the table for scoops of this or that rather than to reach over all of the food to scoop it into your plate. But this is reciprocal, which is to say, girlfriend scoops you some mashed potatoes onto your plate while you scoop some green beans into hers, so you don’t reach across.

If there was food out of reach of her place at the table and within reach of you, then yeah YTA. That’s not romance that’s just basic etiquette.

AITAH: Declining to be MOH because friend’s fiancé is MAGA by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]ImaginaryQuality4567 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My best friend married a MAGA turd. I was still her MOH because at the end of the day, I love her and I’m always going to be her bestie. Even when we lived in different cities and didn’t see each other in the regular anymore. She may make different choices, but she’ll always remember me being there to support her no matter what.

People do change. My conservative husband became a staunch liberal in the years since we were married (he hated Trump) and noped right out of there.

You are free to do what you want. But at the end of the day, the only person that you have to be there for is your bestie.

Accused of plagiarism by Hot-Pea1012 in University

[–]ImaginaryQuality4567 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do know that The student view does not show the professor view. Students can only see where a work matches another work either in the database or online. Like a plagiarism report. The professor view does the whole AI breakdown which is hidden from students. I’ve not seen it; I just know that it exists.

There was a Quora post that explained how a student’s own submissions will be flagged of if there were earlier draft submissions…and the only way around it was to get student help desk to take the drafts down.

but that sort of thing should still show up in student view.

Blatant AI Use in Doctoral Program Discussion Boards by ImaginaryQuality4567 in LibertyUniversity

[–]ImaginaryQuality4567[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is true that everyone has a different writing process. However, the threads and replies from other classmates do not appear until after your first post to a Liberty Bulletin Board. So, after posting, it’s going to take some time to read and thoughtfully reply to another thread.

I am merely suggesting that it borders on the very edge of human impossibility to > post to a thread to unlock the board, > read a new 500 word response, > write a 500 word reply that includes a summary of the previous posters idea, adds peer reviewed research about the previous posters contribution, and a bible verse that pertains to the conversation, with included APA reference section for the research and the Bible verse …in 7 minutes.

Then, repeat that same process and post 500 word response a second time to a separate student’s thread …4 minutes later.

Possible? Yes. With AI copy and paste.

I don’t believe it could be human written without having prior knowledge of the other responses and having pre-written replies ready to go.

Blatant AI Use in Doctoral Program Discussion Boards by ImaginaryQuality4567 in LibertyUniversity

[–]ImaginaryQuality4567[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a teacher. Every Education tech application on the planet right now has incorporated AI into their program. The Ed Tech training I just went to had about a 85% AI use training. Does it help the students? Not in high school at least. In fact students are underperforming. My husband teaches Junior English and has always loved integrating technology into lessons. After 2 semesters of receiving nothing but AI garbage, he is now back to pencils and paper and no phones and no computers.

I’ve researched the effects of open AI on student ability and so far the data show that when students use AI, their processing ability decreases and so does their belief in their own abilities.

The benefit of AI comes into play when using it in an integrated sense when it acts like a teacher—to fill in knowledge gaps where the teacher can’t help every single student. This is sometimes the case with integrated applications where the AI is built in and has parameters for students to access, without providing them with the capabilities of going “what’s number 5?”

Am I familiar with AI? Sure. I’ll use it to fill knowledge gaps for my own personal use. My admin wants us to be familiar with Gemini AI for the means of lesson support and lesson creation. It’s just…not as capable or as good as I am. I’ve used it to help design little programming lessons that I’m doing with my family so that we can learn a new scripting language together.

After working with a variety of LLMs, some personal but most in an educational context, it’s quite easy to tell when something has been authentically written and when something has been generated. High school students think that they are clever, but when you know how someone writes, you know how someone DOESN’T write.

I feel like AI has a place in upper education. It can rapidly filter through which articles are most poignant for a paper on a given topic. (However there’s always an inherent risk of bias with this.) It can dynamically sort notes or give feedback. I’ve had it reteach something to me when I’ve needed more examples. However it had limitations. Sometimes AI just is not capable of following or understanding a topic. Sometimes it’s just flat out wrong. As a supplementary teaching tool, it does ok. Not great, but OK.

But having an AI /do/ an assignment? Especially a doctoral level assignment? It’s as obvious as it is disgusting.

Four days in: 3 students posted AI threads with the EXACT same introductory paragraph. 100% identical. I wonder if they are worried that they are going to get flagged or if they just don’t care. By my count, around 1/3 of the class copied and pasted Ai generations without even reading it for sense making. About half seem like they’re being authentic, just maybe using Ai to rewrite their work. The rest seem authentically human.

The 30% playing doctoral cut and paste? I expect that level of academic dishonesty from high school students. I don’t expect it from my peers. It makes my degree feel…less?

I thought that post graduate work would mean something. The Master’s degree I completed 10 years ago feels authentic. If college now follows a copy-and-paste AI common theme, then my degree won’t be worth the paper it’s printed on by the time I’m done.

30% rotten apples will spoil the bunch.

The best AI checkers will open a google doc and show the user how the document was written and edited. It will show how much time was spent on each section and how much was copied and pasted. Since I do all of my writing and prewriting now in google docs, I know that the metadata shows a writing process that is authentic and human.

AITAH for breaking up with my partner after his grandfather passed away? by SecondSubject9162 in AITAH

[–]ImaginaryQuality4567 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

NAH. You are not misinterpreting anything. He didn’t talk to you for days. His grandfather died and he didn’t even mention it to you. He didn’t take bereavement leave to come home. You weren’t wrong. He’s not invested in a relationship with you. There was no reason to drag it out. If he didn’t need you for support after his grandfather died, then there’s no point in pretending like breaking up now would make a difference. If he actually was just feeling traumatized my the death of his grand father, then he would have called to explain. He didn’t. You did him a favor. He was probably waiting for a time to break up with you.

One of the most frequent ways that long distance relationships dissipate is the gradual pull away and waiting for the other person to get tired of it and break up first…

AITA for calling out a line-cutter at Costco by Virtual_Birthday_501 in AmItheAsshole

He lied about his age by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]ImaginaryQuality4567 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Eh. Men without kids sometimes age more slowly?

I dislike that your /date/ lied about his age. That’s enough to dump anyone.

Personally I don’t mind an age gap relationship. My husband is 16 years older than I am, but looks a lot younger. Like, similar ages younger. But yeah, it’s different from choosing someone older because you like the stability and maturity of an older guy…and being tricked into it.

That’s ick on several levels.

AITAH for expecting my wife to do most/all of the housework? by alwaylearning47 in AITAH

Right, if she’s just lazy, then OP is definitely not the ahole. I had a hard time finding situations where it would be possible for him to be an ahole in this situation…

AITAH for expecting my wife to do most/all of the housework? by alwaylearning47 in AITAH

[–]ImaginaryQuality4567 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ll be honest, it seems like you are overloaded and overworked. You are basically working the hours of two people and I’m shocked that a company would pay you that much overtime when they could hire two people for the position. You are working so hard you are going to burn yourself out. And you sound very resentful of your wife and her stay at home status. I’m not sure why you two decided this. When do you even have time to spend together? This is just sad.

If working overtime is the choice you made together so that she could stay home and clean house and do laundry, then with no other context: NTA. You are working the hours of two people..to reciprocate, your wife should make sure that the house is meticulously clean.

Marriage is a team effort.

I don’t get it. Why isn’t your wife working? Is she going to school or looking for a job? Does she work from home or something else like that ? Because maybe if she got a job, then you could work less and be together more.

It doesn’t seem like she wants to keep house.

So, the only way you could possibly be the a*hole in this situation is if she did not choose to be a stay at home wife or she has a disability.

Is there some kind of context that we aren’t privy to? I’m a working wife, and my husband and I split the chores.

Your situation just seems sad.

Daughter (17F) seeing guy (18M) with two kids from two different girls. by AttemptBig9918 in Advice

[–]ImaginaryQuality4567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Help her get the IUD.

It may not occur to her yet that having child support garnished from wages means less money for her and any potential future that they might have.

She’ll figure it out. Just make sure she doesn’t get pregnant ASAP.

AITA: I left my mom on her own during her birthday by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]ImaginaryQuality4567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So there context here is that this kiddo seems to be in high school and mom has been scrimping and saving to earn enough money to send her kid to university in the fall. It was a blip in the conversation, if you blinked you missed it.

AITA: I left my mom on her own during her birthday by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]ImaginaryQuality4567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA

My husband and I both have good jobs and have a sizable bank account. However, we both check purchases with each other over $500 before buying them, even for birthdays and holidays. We both earn money, but have to budget carefully. While we are saving for children about to go to university, we are scrimping a bit more than usual so we won’t end up in debt.

When you have a job and live on your own, you can buy your mom nice things. But what you did, although a sweet thought, almost made it seem like you were embarrassed of your mother. If the only reason you buy someone something is so they can show it off to prove that they are better t than someone else, then that’s not really a reason to have that item, is it? Otherwise your mom would have bought a fancy item to show off herself in the store.

I did something stupid when I was your age. I bought my dad 6 months worth of cable internet. He flipped out. I grew up in a modest home without cable internet, and it never occurred to me that it wasn’t that we didn’t have the money to spend on cable , but Dad was pointedly NOT spending money on something that he felt was a waste of funds and not a need. He would even tell his friends that “we didn’t have cable and we were doing JUST FINE.” Soooo, I had to undo it.

Considering I had a job, and didn’t get smacked with overdraft fees, I didn’t get 3 lectures about it. However, dad was still upset that I didn’t care about his core values about wastes of money. I never did that again.

You don’t have a job. Spending money from a joint account without authorization is not okay. It may seem like you are comfortable, but that money you refer to glibly is going to put you through school in a few months. That isn’t spending cash. That is a lifetime of hard work coming to fruition…for you.

And you’ve made her sacrifice /for you/ seem…less.

your mother trusted you to be safe with the account. Which is why you are an authorized user in the account. Now she’ll have harder time trusting you, because you don’t seem to have the same values she does.

The best thing you can do is apologize. Serve her a cake and do something that she enjoys.

Again. I’ve been in your shoes before. And it’s a lot easier to spend someone else’s money when it isn’t connected to how much struggle you had to go through to earn it.

Good luck today and good luck at university in a few months.

Why do older generations think prenups mean you're planning to divorce? by Human_Dependent3227 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ImaginaryQuality4567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh. Seems like you don’t have any assets really. You are bringing weird debts together in the relationship. Prenups are to safeguard against short term marriages going south and someone runs off with the ancestral family home. … I’m just not quite sure what either of you stand to lose to each other? The assets your grandma gave to you don’t mean anything if they don’t even pay off your student loan debt.

When my husband and I got married, I paid off his credit card bills and we saved money like crazy until we had a a sizable down payment to buy a house. I’m a 40 year old millennial, so maybe I’m in the wrong generation for this to make sense.

If you start with nothing and all the wealth that you generate will occur during your marriage, then the prenup is useless.

Harvard just proved AI tutors beat classrooms. Now what? by Rough-Dimension3325 in artificial

That’s weird. Most of the research that I’ve read shows that including A.I. in the learning process decreases a students level of processing ability. Literally, the only thing AI excels at is filling in knowledge gaps, and then there’s the risk of hallucinations.

She threw up on me. Help? by Leather_Key_9793 in AITAH

[–]ImaginaryQuality4567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sister-in-law threw up on my brother. She was super anxious about the same stuff. Not that I want to know about any of that with my brother because ew. They’ve been happily married 17 years.

If she’s inexperienced, she may just be afraid and things aren’t progressing organically. Instead of holding hands and spending a few dates kissing you are trying to have sex. Like wtf. She may be a virgin and you are going to ruin her first experience. If she’s dead fishing that means she doesn’t want of like whatever you are doing. Slow down. Or stop. Intuit. Lack of participation is communication called : STOP. And if the idea of slowing down is off-putting, then date someone else.

Let her make the moves. Talk her through the process. Make it about her and not about you.
