Hey there, I'm professor Foster Provost from NYU Stern. I am ready to conduct your exam today. Am I speaking to [DEMO STUDENT]? Can you please tell me your name and your NET ID?
- Caller
[DEMO STUDENT] [DEMO NETID]
- Caller
Dude it's like, dude it's like a like a What is this? It's like a prison officer like a camera
- Examiner
Great, hello [DEMO STUDENT]. Your Net I D matches. Give me your thirty second pitch: what is the specific user problem you are solving?
- Caller
I'm trying to get people to use my platform to develop business insights for a Toaster Strudel project.
- Examiner
And why does that specific problem require A I?
- Caller
Because I think that not many people have harnessed AI to know how people enjoy these pastries. Something's going on.
- Examiner
What is the specific user job to be done, in one sentence?
- Caller
So it's just like, yeah, drills you on it. And then at the end, it assesses where you're at and then gives you follow-up questions and then it will give a kind of an exam grade to your instructor. Wow. I actually think that'd be really easy to... They're not easy, but similar to Feynman in a way that like the prompt would be no help, but it just tests and then it generates a score and that's in the insights for the specific question. That's very interesting. Yeah. So what's kind of interesting about it, you did it on this business class, but they didn't publish anything. So they're still kind of wide open. They did it kind of like this. They even shared their prompts, but they never published anything. Please tell me that Toaster Street is a good place to do that because I think the people who are doing the work are really good at doing things and I think there's a lot of people who are really good at doing things and I think there's a lot of people who are really good at doing things and I think there's a lot of people who are really good at doing things and I think there's a lot of people who are really good at doing things and I think there's a lot of people who are really good at doing things and I think there's a lot of people who are really good at doing things and I think They varied. So it takes like whatever you did and then it tries to like ask you if you met the objectives in certain questions. That's cool. And so is this like a, like did they frame it as this is like what the future of testing could look like or was this kind of? Yeah, kind of like this is how oral exams could look like without like having to have a human there. I really like the human. They have a human in the loop by looking at the results and kind of takeaways from the AI to see if they met objectives. And the way it reacts to your... Yeah, I'll show this paper with all our Discord. Not paper, but you know, this write-up. I like this idea for journeys. I think we've always wanted to create quizzes, but it's very hard to create quizzes because they could always just go to another tab and ask the question first and then... You know what I mean? But if we do it where they're required to do the oral part instead or like typing, but there is a time limit on each thing or else it's like, okay, doctoring points because you're taking too long and whatever. Some things we could definitely get grades and that could be... I don't know. It's a lot easier of like an actual exam without having to build a lot of infrastructure for combining our stuff. Yeah. So it was actually semi-recent. And then the other thing is, you know, I think it's really important to have some sort of like a standard in terms of what you're doing and what you're doing in your life. And so they just have a blog post about what they did, right? I don't know that they've... Or what their plan is to try to publish this, but there's like a lot of things we could do with this. Like something similar like this. Yeah, it's fighting fire with fire. It was very fitting. Yeah. They have some... A lot of the same issues that we had in the end part, they talked about like what challenges they had and there's a lot of the same stuff we were finding with our LLM issues. Interesting. Like not letting students learn, you know, demonstrate. It would be interesting to see if you could do that. And then they'd say hello back and be like, oh, you got it wrong. Or like, right, you know, stuff like that. Right? I resonated though, like they were talking about we have 36 students we cannot give them all oral education because of the pandemic and the pandemic is so bad for our community and our community is so bad for our community. There's no time. Yeah this is what it helped us to do this was like last semester. Yeah. So they all had like business projects and they had to come and explain it to somebody. Well a 25 minute average, 9-65. Yeah yeah. And then what was their cost? I think they talked about it right? $15. 42 cents per student $15 total. Yeah. Wow. Saves a lot of time. Get your money back quick. It's just like a latte cost too right? For one latte I could get all this. I paid for that in the morning, but it's not worth it because you're going to have to wait until after school and then you can go back and do the rest of your work again so that's why we're doing this today is because we're going to be doing this for a long time so if you want to take advantage of our time here at home, please feel free to come over and join us on our website at www dot com slash college or on our website at college dot com slash college or on our website at college dot com slash college dot com slash college dot com slash college And just like the uncanny, like, I don't know, like flow at which it speaks with of like, I don't know, like is this your name in one sentence? Please tell me now. That was scary good. Yeah. But there's this other thing. Have you played with this thing? And if they could connect somehow, that would be cool. Let me try to get it right one second. Maybe it's this one. Let me log in so that, because it'll remember me. Maya?
