"My English teacher told me to try ChatGPT." U.S. Open AI's interactive AI ChatGPT (Generative Pre-Trained Transformer) made on November 30th 2022, is becoming a big topic of debate in the educational community.
Many professors and teachers have emphasized that the chatbot possesses a high level of intelligence and can be useful for studying; there have even been discussions that it generates higher quality information than that provided by Google.
While some are rushing to come up with measures to prevent the use of ChatGPR due to fear of plagiarism and ghostwriting, there are also growing calls for teaching students how to use it wisely rather than unconditionally banning it.
Ma Dong-hoon, a professor at Korea University, plans to use ChatGPT as a workbook in a lecture on "Media Technology and Culture."
The plan is to ensure that students first refer to ChatGPT's answers to a given topic, and then to further encourage creative and critical discussions based on the response it provided.
ChatGPT generates human-like language that surprises many people; it can do almost everything from writing 500 essays on a particular topic, writing poems, counseling for people, recommending links, and answering difficult questions.
For example, when I asked the generator, "I'm sad, comfort me," it did not provide an incomprehensible answer, but "Remember that I'm sad, sometimes it's okay to be sad, remember that I'm not alone."
There are controversial opinions about this language chat bot; although ChatGPT is mostly reliable, it can sometimes give you the wrong answer and misleading or biased information.
Because users can't be trusted to give curveballs, Science banned the use of ChatGPT language models in January, saying artificial intelligence programs could not be writers, and there could be plagiarism or modified images of existing works that use other people's words or ideas to convey to them.
In another case similar to the above example, the software developer site StackOverflow has banned AI from answering programming questions.
Also, many children can use ChatGPT to cheat or do homework such as writing essays and poems; it is actually said that many children have already borrowed ChatGPT's writing skills to submit their school assignments.
This will not allow teachers to grade students' studies in the right way and will not help improve their skills in managing homework or studying.
It's open, but AI has created a classifier so that teachers or markers can tell if students have used chatGPT to do their jobs, making ChatGPT a controversial topic.
As the work that recently won the first prize at the Colorado State Fair Fine Arts competition in the U.S. was known as an AI-drawn work, AI has also become an inevitable challenge in the field of art academia.
An art student said, "AI caught up with the drawing skills that I have built for more than a decade," she added, "Now, I think we need to study how to create more original works using this AI."
Professor Seznovsky also said, "This is an unknown world that humans have never experienced before," and that the task of dealing with and making good use of this world was given.
