Terence Tao: GPT-O1 nearing "competent grad student" usefulness
(mathstodon.xyz)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
This tells you much much more about how graduate students are treated in academia than anything about "AI".
I do agree that grad students don't exactly live in luxury, and frequently develop mental health crises. But their contributions and insight are what power their labs. Profs often have to spend so much time teaching and chasing grants that they can't do much real research. Academia overall is in a sad state.
But Tao is a superstar, and a charismatic blogger. I'd be disappointed to learn he mistreats his grad students. (I don't know if he even has any tbh)
