Teacher using AI to make nonsensical posters.
As a teacher myself, it infuriates me. I see those AI slop type posts on LinkedIn often, but this one takes the cake. I think this is just unethical to post something like that in public, presenting it as a genuine resource, being in the position of a teacher. There is so much wrong with this post, and I am not sure where to even start. from e being a natural number, apparently, to pure imaginary numbers being somehow, a subset of reals, to just incorrect English.
I don't mind using AI but AI usage should be responsible, and it clearly is not here. I think this has to be called out, as it confuses and misleads.
He thinks 1x1=2 because of thermodynamics. My flabber hath ne'er been so gasted...
I didn't know who Terrance Howard was, but the commenter asked why people were so dismissive of Howard, claiming that he had some great ideas. Someone then asked him for an example of one of Howard's good ideas. This is the example he gave. Based on other things the commenter wrote, I'm confident that he was NOT just trolling. I suppose that his last comment was seriously asking how to multiply the dollar sign, but he deleted everything before I could finish composing my reply.
I engaged in the conversation only out of some very morbid curiosity... and I think it just killed what's left of my optimistic humanism.
