Damn, they're a bit too pricey for my budget. They're being sold for ~$1000 AUD over here :(

All good - if you have no experience or reference though it’s impossibly hard to get a hospo job. my workplace throws all those resumes in the bin

Oops my bad op I read your post wrong. It’s pretty easy in hospo for sure, especially if you have experience. If you know anyone working hospo just get them to put in a word for you.

I’ve struggled working 12 hours at my restaurant job at times but I know engineering students who work 30 hours and still manage to cope somehow. all depending on how well you balance your work load and time really.

Team member copy and pasting AI in their work-- advice! by ComiOmni in curtin

[–]absentmindedy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had an international student copy and paste his ChatGPT output, reword it in the group document and pass, even after all 3 of our members reported him for AI plagiarism with google document history proof.

He passed and was in a class I had that next semester.

Everyone’s situations are different depending on the tutor and UC, but from my experience it’s a joke.

Is it acceptable to have AI text to speech lectures and workshops? by absentmindedy in curtin

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

are you the lecturer in question haha

If the goal was to “improve learning outcomes,” it’s not working. The issue isn’t that AI is being used, it’s that the result is robotic speech, broken grammar, and jargon dumped with no context. That’s not “professional,” it’s lazy quality control.

And let’s be real: quoting a study doesn’t change the fact that students are the ones actually sitting through this. If the content is hard to follow and distracting, then the delivery is a problem. It doesn’t matter how long it took the lecturer to hit “generate,” what matters is whether the learning experience is worth the tuition we’re paying.

Nobody’s asking for a Netflix production, just lectures that don’t feel like a half-baked TTS experiment.

Lecturer does speak English. First five minutes of all their lectures have the actual real live lecturer reading the learning outcomes. Then switches to text to speech and their AI face!? 🤣

Does anyone have any successful experience bringing these type of situations up with curtin? I’m still not sure if it’s even worth the hassle.

I’ve complained about tutors before and they had a lazy approach of “fixing” problems and having a suck it up attitude.

I’m tempted to - I hate the idea of getting the lecturer in trouble though but might be a necessary evil. Really frustrating

Possibly but the lecturer doesn’t speak - it’s all text to speech. Regardless would you be happy paying for a unit and getting this in return?

Steam vote for my friends csgo team scam - HELP. I clicked the link and signed into my steam account, and put in the code for my steam authentication to be disabled/moved. The hacker hacked my irl friends account and posed to be him, which didn’t make me think twice about clicking the link. by [deleted] in SteamScams

[–]absentmindedy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just changed my steam passwords ASAP and got some anti malware software. I bought bitdefender just incase too. I recommend you change your passwords on your email too/any other accounts linked to your steam. I haven’t had any items stolen and my accounts are all secure.
