Why AI in course work
Why students should they learn AI in a physics course.
AI brings:
- Huge productivity increase: coding / dev / search
- New way to learn.
- New way to think.
Learn how to use AI
Learning how to be productive with AIs is probably the most important thing we can be teaching you right now. Its really the skill of how to work with and lead a technicical-skilled intelligent being. … I say being because these this things are not people, They sometimes smell like people, but as you use them you will see that they are definitely not. However, training with them will help you learn to work with highly-skilled technical people. This is of course important in physics and beyond.
Strong AI will change virtually every job. (Including scientist) To the extent the job involves brainpower, you will end up working with the AIs.
r are they doing everything they can, individually and socially, to adapt to one of the biggest scientific revolutions in human history?
AIs (claude code) are a huge productivity boost.
