I simply don't waste my time reading an AD as an article.

I take this as seriously as I would if McDonald's published articles about how much weight people lose eating at McDonald's.

If you had read the article, you would have been able to see that the conclusions don't really align with any economic goals Anthropic might have.

I think the point is that the situation is probably worse than what Anthropic is presenting here. So if the conclusions are just damaging, the reality must be truly damning.

To have the reputation as an AI company that really cares about education and the responsible integration of AI into education is a pretty valuable goal. They are now ahead of OpenAI in this respect.

The problem is that there's a conflict of interest here. The extreme case proves it--leaving aside the feasibility of it, what if the only solution is a total ban on AI usage in education? Anthropic could never sanction that.

I'm curious if you're willing to say what you (and potentially other people who spell 'AD' like that) think it's an acronym for, by the way.

[brunocroh]

English is not my first language. To me, 'AD' was a shorter way to say 'advertisement' (a really hard word to remember how to spell btw) Is that wrong?

It's more like an analysis of what items people order from McDonald's, using McDonald's own data which is otherwise very difficult to collect.

Your loss!

This is why I go to cigarette companies for analysis of the impact of smoking on users. They have the most data!

[brunocroh]

Yes, maybe, but there is a lot of noise and conflicts of interest.
