It won't matter if you have ChatGPT do your homework if you're functionally illiterate.

This comment brought to you by the AI after ChatGPT.

I see ChatGPT as a Wikipedia google hybrid. It helps me to conceptualize a subject better than a random SOE google search results.

Except where Wikipedia is highly moderated and has a certain level of quality, CharGPT is nefarious for outright making shit up.

Hey. Just on the side, what does SOE mean?

Good luck with enforcement

IMO, ChatGPT should be a compulsory subject.

Not @niknah and I’m gonna guess they think it’s the coming lord and saviour. But it will be a part of technology going forward so kids should be taught what it is and isn’t.

It’s a cross between Siri and predictive text. It guesses and makes up things in an authoritative voice. So kids / people need to be taught not to trust it.

It’s basically a blender of the entire internet. It’ll just as likely tell you the pyramids were built by aliens because there are more words on the internet written about that then about the actual construction. Ask about any notable historical figure mainly known by their last name and their accomplishment and it’ll make up a random first name and fictional biography about them. Because all it’s doing is making sentences/paragraphs/stories from their component parts weighted by other words that are likely to go near them.

It’s not going to cure cancer or even write a Wikipedia article correctly, but it might actually do fictional writers out of a job.

It's also not a search engine or an arbiter of truth. I also think it and other ML models need to be taught to help our kids understand its limitations and uses. This generation of ML models make things up whole cloth. Need to push back on the stupid myth that it is a search engine.

Critical thinking is what needs to be taught. It applies to all sources. We'd have a lot less cookers, nutters and politicians if it was taught at school.

In the workplace & business everyone will be competing against others who are using it. You'll be unproductive / uncreative living in the past if you don't know how to use it as well as others. It's not as simple as google search, it's a conversation where you can add things into the results.

They could do away with the old "how much can you remember" type tests all together and grade by people's practical skills with using real world tools.
