MIT Study Shows Assigning Essays Triggers Student "Brain Rot" https://stefanbauschard.substack.com/p/mit-study-shows-assigning-essays (ideas for better assignments) #AI #education

This is like building a home on a coastline known for destructive hurricanes-then acting shocked and outraged each year when your house gets flattened. If we keep assigning traditional essays knowing students can and will use ChatGPT to generate them, we're choosing to build in a danger zone and then blaming the storms when the structure collapses. (2) We can restructure assignments and stop giving assignments that trigger brain rot in the world of Al. For example, here are some ways to reduce reliance on essay writing and build debate into classroom instruction so that when students use ChatGPT to prepare they are likely to increase their critical thinking.

Google quietly launches AI Edge Gallery, letting Android phones run AI without the cloud https://venturebeat.com/ai/google-quietly-launches-ai-edge-gallery-letting-android-phones-run-ai-without-the-cloud/ #AI #edge#Google#Android

Text Shot: Google has quietly released an experimental Android application that enables users to run sophisticated artificial intelligence models directly on their smartphones without requiring an internet connection, marking a significant step in the company’s push toward edge computing and privacy-focused AI deployment. The app, called AI Edge Gallery, allows users to download and execute AI models from the popular Hugging Face platform entirely on their devices, enabling tasks such as image analysis, text generation, coding assistance, and multi-turn conversations while keeping all data processing local.
