Ep. 60: Is It Cheating if You Use AI? - Prompting Curiosity | Lyssna här

Inspired by a podcast episode my girlfriend recently listened to, I use this episode to tackle the question: “Is it cheating if you use AI”? Using the definition of cheating as a springboard, I break down why the school-and-sports framing most of us default when it comes to cheating, and why the topic warrants a more nuanced approach when considering AI. Along the way I discuss the role of the system at large, and round the episode out by diving into an equally exciting topic for me: how AI use affects trustworthiness.

Main Topics Covered

AI as holding up a mirror
Defining cheating
Why the school/sports rulebook framing doesn't fit AI
Why AI is an easy punching bag right now
Breaking down disclosure, rules, and trust
Questions worth asking
Is someone less trustworthy if they use AI?
