Via Dave Nicholls’ Substack newsletter. https://www.chronicle.com/article/im-a-student-you-have-no-idea-how-much-were-using-chatgpt “In reality, it’s very easy to use AI to do the lion’s share of the thinking while still submitting work that looks like your own. Once that becomes clear, it follows that massive structural change will be needed if our colleges are going to keep training students to think…
Don’t plan on a career in prompt engineering

critical thinking, learning, problem solving, prompt engineering, teaching

I’ve said before that prompt engineering is a dead end, and here’s further support, for similar reasons.

I’ve mentioned before the work being…
Giving algorithms a sense of uncertainty could make them more ethical

clinical reasoning, critical thinking, decision-making, uncertainty

The algorithm could handle this uncertainty by computing multiple solutions and then giving humans a menu of options with their associated trade-offs.

Instead of recommending one treatment over another, it could present three possible options: one for maximizing patient life span, another for minimizing…

Clinical reasoning is hard to do, and even harder to facilitate in novice practitioners who lack the experience and patterns of thinking that enable them to establish conceptual relationships that are often non-trivial. Experienced clinicians have developed, over many years and many patients, a set of thinking patterns that influence the clinical decisions they make,…
