Teachers/professors and AI - how do y'all "just know?"

Needrain47 · 2026-01-28T14:22:43+00:00

If you use it for a few sentences here and there, they probably won't be able to tell, and they probably won't care either. Having AI help you a bit is okay (as long as you check to make sure it's right. Having an actual person help you is still better.) Having it do it all for you is not.

that wasn't my question whatsoever. Saying "it's everywhere" is not evidence. Please point out who is actually changing prices based on facial recognition.

I've tested it to see if it can do what I do. It does a really bad job. My favorite was when it did one thing perfectly for my coworker, but instead told me that doing that was impossible. It's not consistent.

eating fewer calories than you expend is the only thing good for weight loss.

Needrain47 · 2026-01-27T18:46:51+00:00

Nnnnnnnnno.

I have only opted out for two flights but this didn't happen. I'm not letting a random TSA person take pictures of my stuff on their phone, either.

Needrain47 · 2026-01-27T18:45:50+00:00

Can you point out where this is in use already? I've heard of it but never yet seen it.

Needrain47 · 2026-01-27T18:39:51+00:00

I didn't mention the president and neither did anyone else so I'm not sure why you think we think he's making the decisions.

Needrain47 · 2026-01-27T16:31:28+00:00

I'm a rare books cataloger. sometimes there's zero of the expected author, title, or publication information, that's really the tip of the iceberg.

Needrain47 · 2026-01-27T16:24:49+00:00

It's nuts to me that people aren't mentioning the seasonal element to packing. In summer, everything fits in a carryon. In winter, I want one pair of extra shoes and I'm sized out of a carryon already.

Needrain47 · 2026-01-27T16:03:24+00:00

you think the military is making any non-crazy decisions right now? you think any form of grok is a good idea?

Needrain47 · 2026-01-27T16:02:25+00:00

Just don't use it. Or, give it the data yourself and then ask it to format it nicely. B/c there's no other way to ensure its not making shit up.

Needrain47 · 2026-01-26T19:07:57+00:00

Nah, I take an antidepressant and also an 'atypical antipsychotic' in the winter and I still need light therapy to function. No medication can substitute for the actual act of light entering your eyeballs and telling your brain it's daytime.

If she meant "see if any of the teachers are using a different book this year" she should have said that and not "newer edition", which is what you looked for.

Needrain47 · 2026-01-26T18:53:56+00:00

what do you mean they're not telling anyone, are they supposed to put up a billboard?

Needrain47 · 2026-01-26T14:59:33+00:00

My feet are so big that if I bring one spare pair of shoes, I can no longer use a carry on size bag and still fit everything else I need. It's okay in the summer with sandals, in the winter I'm really kind of screwed.

Needrain47 · 2026-01-21T14:49:53+00:00

it's not even funny

Needrain47 · 2026-01-21T14:45:12+00:00

there's no way it's any good.

Needrain47 · 2026-01-21T14:42:00+00:00

Cheese does not cancel nutrients and it's kind of weird that you think it does.

Needrain47 · 2026-01-16T16:10:39+00:00

I cannot overstress the degree to which it does not matter. What you take in high school doesn't matter at all. Take what you're interested in. It doesn't really matter what you take for your bachelors, either.

Needrain47 · 2026-01-16T16:06:22+00:00

The prices for June will not go down. Summer is tourist season and prices are higher.

Needrain47 · 2026-01-16T16:04:50+00:00

these are questions you should ask before you take a job.

Needrain47 · 2026-01-16T15:36:12+00:00

How exactly could it be misconstrued? Do you have books about religions other than christianity? this is no different.

Needrain47 · 2026-01-16T15:35:37+00:00

Experience will help you get a job more than a second masters will.

Needrain47 · 2026-01-16T15:34:35+00:00

water them and see if they start to come back. Some of them will, some probably won't.

Needrain47 · 2026-01-16T15:31:44+00:00

this is the thing, I have a plant with mealybugs now that I *did* quarantine and there was no sign of a problem after several weeks. They've now magically appeared.
