"Back in my day," the labs and experiments you did were typically the easiest part of STEM classes because the exercises covered straightforward but time-consuming examples, so the class usually did best on these. Homework, quizzes, and tests were the hard part, especially toward the end of the course.
But today's STEM students use AI to do all their homework and anything else that they submit online, and as a result they don't learn the material as well. According to my friend, this means that grades are dropping in labs and experiments, which are supposed to be the easiest part Ljl. |

Date: March 22nd, 2026 10:49 AM Author: a lifetime spent arguing with autistic men online What kind of stem? Obviously the abstract/problem-solving material covered in labs are easier but a lot of STEM has hands-on material or experiments are done in groups and this type of thing is more difficult for high iq people who are better with abstraction. Also if you are using AI to complete all of the online problem sets you are absolutely fucked on the tests. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5848487&forum_id=2,#49760962) |

Date: March 22nd, 2026 11:00 AM Author: United Negro Coffin Fund I'm getting a statistics MS right now. You could totally use AI to do your homework for you, except that it's wrong half the time. You still have to comprehend the material well enough to question AI about its results.
And it goes without saying that whatever you let the AI do on the homework, you will still have to reverse engineer it to do well on the tests.
I do think AI is making it possible for motivated students who aren't quite as brilliant as the typical STEM grad student to learn these topics. I'm not sure I could have comprehended statistics as well as I do now without ChatGPT as a free tutor. |

Everyone just vomits that stream-of-consciousness internet speak that is maddening to decipher if you're a trained Liberal Artist like yours truly. And yet those who speak this degraded language understand it intuitively, so there is no incentive to change. The Future belongs to people who think "lose" is spelled "loose".
