ChatGPT passed a Wharton MBA exam and it’s still in its infancy. One professor is sounding the alarm

ChatGPT has alarmed high-school teachers, who worry that students will use it—or other new artificial-intelligence tools—to cheat on writing assignments. But the concern doesn’t stop at the high-school level. At the University of Pennsylvania’s prestigious Wharton School of Business, professor Christian Terwiesch has been wondering what such A.I. tools mean for MBA programs.

This week, Terwiesch released a research paper in which he documented how ChatGPT performed on the final exam of a typical MBA core course, Operations Management.

However, this doesn't mean it is "all knowing" or anything: Garbage In, Garbage Out.

It will likely get "presented" as infallible, in order to advance "the Narrative" on topics of use to the powers that be.

It’s just another brain-dead “fact checker.”

Well, it is an MBA so all the answers are supposed to sound generic.

Donald Fagen saw the future:

A just machine to make big decisions
Programmed by fellas, with compassion and vision

We’ll be clean, when their work is done
We’ll be eternally free, yes, and eternally young

What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free

“It’s just another brain-dead “fact checker.””

Nope. Much more. For example, it can be customized for a specific business.

AlGore already killed textbook reading by students, as they just look up answers to questions rather than reading the text. This will just make it worse.

Teachers have to adjust by deliberately teaching kids to read primary and secondary sources and holding them accountable to it in the classroom, not just by having them answer homework questions, which they can just pull from the interweb machines.

That’s what worries me.

I agree with you, I use to own a travel agency and warned our franchisor at an owner’s meeting that the Internet was going to put everyone out of business if we did not get a handle on how to survive.

I had a ton of other owners telling me the general public would never use a website or automated system to purchase travel, obviously nearly every travel agency went out of business.

It’s the same thing with ChatGPT, if you people don’t see how incredible this technology already is and it’s still in its infancy then you are living in the stone age.

One company that must be losing real sleep over ChatGPt is Google and their stranglehold on Internet searching.

There was a Star Trek episode where some fairly stupid guys had a space ship. They knew how to push the buttons to make it work, but didn't know how it worked or how to fix it.

Getting an education is far more that passing tests with a calculator.

That’s because Google doesn’t really search the internet.

It searches the internet but subjects it to who paid Google the most, and suppresses things which contradict the current narrative.

ChatGPT appears to ignore who paid the most.

But the suppression problems may be even worse.

Karl Denninger (Market Ticker site, IQ of 187) talks about how he asked about cardiac damage from the clot shots; the machine “apologized” but didn’t correct its answers even when supplied with peer-reviewed studies from the world-famous Cleveland Clinic which contradicted its canned answers.

Just consider what will happen when these ‘AI snowflakes’ graduate and become employed.

Their boss asks the ‘AI snowflake’ to write a letter to so and so about some issue so he can sign it. The ‘AI snowflake’ goes to their smartphone and dials up their favorite AI source and asks them to write such a letter.

Remember ChatGPT is level 1.0 right now, eventually there will a 2,3,4 and so on versions which will only get better, whatever the product doesn’t have answers for right now doesn’t mean it’s a failed product, because newer versions that are sure to come might and likely will be able to answer many more questions, what the product can do right now is impressive.

If you search for something with Google, you will get page after page of information that may not be what you are looking for.

I am specifically interested in what ChatGPT can do with creating complicated functions in Microsoft Excel and if necessary, creating Visual Basic code to create even more complicated Excel Macros, the examples I’ve seen demonstrated on YouTube have been really impressive, this is something that could take you hours on Google to find the right information and still longer to implement the solution thru tedious trial and error.

Getting to a specific piece of information quickly is something that Google often times struggles with, ChatGPT has the potential to be real game changer.

Here’s an article about Google Executives supposedly calling a ChatGPT a potential “Code Red” issue.

So it is a born democrat politician.

I see two paths —

Human labor will be increasingly unnecessary and many, many millions of people will sit around with no ability to add value to society. This is very worrisome.

Oral exams will be paramount and only in-person verbal performance will be trusted as a measure of a human’s ability. Your degree from Harvard will be worthless. To this end, rhetoric and elocution will become important skills. Answering questions with “Well, you know, it’s like, the thing is, I mean, all that stuff, you know, what I’m saying is ...” That’s no way to pass an exam designed to prove that you are a high-quality human.

NOTE: Option 2 above will be considered racist. Which means Option 1 above is much more likely. And the devil makes work for idle hands, so I expect cities to burn. In a mostly peaceful, non-racist manner.

If Google hates it, it can’t be all bad. It’s open source and very hard to get on right now because so many are trying to access it.
