This is the truth. I wouldn't call myself world class at anything, but I work hard at improving performance in several areas of my life and have been sort of obsessively studying the methods involved in that improvement.

What I've noticed is that the skills I need to succeed in any area or master any skill tend to be very separate from the specific skills that define that particular activity.

If you don't mind me asking, what sorts of topics and strategies did your recent training focus on?

Thanks for being a good sport. In all seriousness:

20 years ago I was a top student in a gifted program, but my family was poor and anti-intellectual, and we knew nothing of college preparedness. I attended several local colleges and a state university and was dismayed to feel that I was somehow being ripped off.

The classes I attended were massive, the books were expensive and the debt was crippling. I largely taught myself from these books; the lectures seemed to be low effort summaries of what I learned without help. There was little to no personal attention paid to students. Despite skyrocketing tuition the value of the education seemed to exist solely in the interactions and collaboration with other students.

I dropped out to self study computer science. Though anecdotal, I have led an intellectually gratifying life. It has been financially and intrinsically rewarding. I still keep up with cutting edge research in my spare time. I have maintained a grudge and a bias against the extant incentive structure of higher education and the social pressures that maintain it, and welcome any disruption to the sweeping injustice we commit against young and naive who are funneled through undergraduate programs without regard to personal cost. Graduate school is widely regarded in my industry as a pyramid scheme, and tenure is a relic of the past.

What role will university play in a future where every person may access personalized AI tutors, vast repositories of accumulated human knowledge and can communicate directly with students across the globe? Why should I worry about the ethics of students unfairly getting ahead in a system that, to me, seems largely unethical as a whole?

Greetings kind Doctor

I have made use of ChatGPT for to make scripts in perfect sounding English and grammar. I was to educate a customer regarding the error in which my company refunded her too much money for an overpayment of her student loan which she had.

Her very nice grandmother answered the phone and made a terrible accident owing my company many thousands of dollars. Even though she promised to pay me in apple cards so I don't get fired she redeemed them all herself and I got nothing. Now she wasted three hours of my time and my children will starve. Then I find out if you believe me her voice was made by AI and was the girl student in hiding always.

My question is how do we combat the use of voice cloning technology in student load repayment customer service industry?
