No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Maybe it would be worthwhile to explicitly build the assignment around using AI, and grading on editing the result? Kinda like how research papers are graded on properly citing and presenting information that's not supposed to be original.
If LLMs are going to be a lasting tool, maybe using them effectively is an important skill to teach. Encourage AI use in generating components, but force those components into a structure that AI struggles with, and grade based on how well the AI-generated components fit together in a coherent end product.
I remember when I was studying math in college, the upper level courses regularly gave take-home exams because all the tools and resources in the world weren't going to help if you didn't understand the material.
It's not a great solution, if students are using AI to skirt learning the basics then they aren't going to develop the skills to understand the work they're editing. Kinda like calculators; they're great when you're being evaluated for more complex tasks where the arithmetic isn't the important part, but kids still need to learn how to do the arithmetic in the first place before they automate it.
But the genie's out of the bottle. Fair or not, teachers are going to have to adapt to test the skills that can't be automated yet. I was around for the tail end of teaching kids how to use the card catalog in the library to do research, but everyone just uses search engines now.
I do not envy teachers right now. They have a Hurculean task before them, and I only see it getting worse as AI gets better.
