The Great AI Academic Scandal In Northern University

 As anyone who follows here, will know that I have a love all things technology related. I think, personally AI is one of the greatest innovations in computing, probably since the internet itself. I do think also a lot of AI is over-hyped. It's a buzzword. nano, organic electronics, MEMS etc. However, it is one that seems to deliver unlike perhaps compared to organic electronics. However, call a spade a spade, not an AI digging implement generated for removal of soil. It is a spade.


The other thing you will know, is that I have a specific dim view often of many areas of the establishment. One such area is Academic Abuse. I was therefore interested to read an article (source), about how students are en-mass using AI to do their work. Take into account that certainly at this particular university there are mass problems, that are well documented. The abuse towards students by racist academic staff. Bullying of staff and students. Inappropriate Male behaviour towards female students, staff being told to kill themselves when asking for help, staff missing lectures while performing alleged acts in their office. Stealing of property belonging to staff. Serious health and safety misconduct and so on. Poor courses, massaging of results. Being millions in debt down to alleged staff doing nothing down to some ego-god complex. Again my belief is this is mere tip of iceberg, and no place should be above the moral and legal law.


Returning to the AI, before I write pages on the university, it is no surprise. Firstly, if there is a tool out there to help people will use it. Of course, this university did not sign up to use anti AI techniques. You might ask why ? Well this is down to what I believe are morals within the Academic staff. Certainly, they are quite happy to steal colleagues work and publish it. Then when its investigated, they purely say no they didn't and the publisher just goes - "ok we believe you as you have said this". Also, it is fairly obvious that many "Academic Staff" are of low quality. It would not be surprising to find that they have no moved on from wikipedia to ChatGPT for a large amount of their work outcomes.

Cheating in Education


There are as well the actual offers students get from "businesses" to churn out their reports, dissertations and thesis. So it is no surprise any of this at all. What would be interesting is to look at the research and PhD side of things, which was already broken and in my opinion corrupt, and see how AI has influenced that. It would not surprise me if people go in day 1 of the PhD, ask AI to write a PhD on their work and then hand it in 4 years later. 


Maybe this is me being a cynic, or maybe i am right ? who knows... what is obvious is that this dilutes the worth of university certification.

AI: The New Maestro? How Artificial Intelligence is Composing Music

  ## AI: The New Maestro? How Artificial Intelligence is Composing Music For centuries, music has been a uniquely human expression. But with the rise of artificial intelligence, the lines are blurring. AI is no longer just analyzing music; it's composing it, pushing the boundaries of what we consider 'music' in the process. **From Algorithms to Symphonies:** AI music creation relies on a fascinating blend of machine learning and data. Algorithms are trained on vast libraries of existing music, learning patterns, harmonies, melodies, and even specific styles. This allows them to: * **Generate melodies and harmonies:** AI can create entirely new musical phrases, adhering to specific stylistic guidelines or even improvising in real-time. * **Compose entire pieces:** From simple jingles to complex orchestral scores, AI can generate complete musical compositions, often in multiple genres and with varying levels of complexity. * **Adapt music to specific contexts:** AI can tailor...

  Writing here as the founder of Alchemise Innovation, my background was science and technology based. However, in recent times I felt it was time for a change. I didn't want to be part of a larger company and get swallowed up in politics I felt were wrong. Also, I realised that now was probably my last opportunity to at least try my own business. Having spent the last 5 years looking at spin out opportunities, and with a desire to keep myself relevant in the science and technology sector, I looked for options. It made sense to me to look at AI (artificial intelligence) from an end user perspective. This lead to image design amongst other possibilities. In fact, originally my vision was that AI would do everything.... if only! To take this forwards, I set up what is now called Alchemise Innovation. The challenge is to fuse together ideas, ways of working, capabilities to give the final outputs. Our key output is images, and we work with a well known print-on-demand (POD) company to...
