Probably the biggest victim of the LLM hype is academia. I dont have anything quantitative to back this up, but the students around me that rely on chatgpt a lot seem to be failing their exams more than those that arent.
I believe that, it’s probably the same people that were already going to try to cheat on their assignments and stuff, but are turning their brains off even more with LLMs. Lots of them probably aren’t even ready the slop the LLMs spit out before handing it in. I’m hoping teachers and professors make their way back to hand written answers for assignments, personally. At least then students physically have to read some of the text that’s getting written.
