That's all, so I read on the Internet, and still, AI is one giant leap for
mankind.
Almost all the articles Red Baron has read so far about ChatGTP deal with the adverse effects of the software. There is also a lot of criticism of AI-generated unreflective content and misinformation.
It seems that even intelligent commentators are poking around in the fog on AI because, after all, no one knows the real impact it will have on educational institutions, on all of our public lives, and indeed on each and every one of us.
It is still relatively easy to recognize texts generated by chatbots since sentences are conspicuously simple in construction, like my earlier text, sorry, generated by ChatGPT:
Conservative women certainly play an increasingly important role in the United States. While there is still a long way to go before true gender parity is achieved, conservative women are increasingly gaining influence in politics, business, and other areas. They are also making their voices heard in the media, and their presence in the public sphere is growing. However, it is too early to say that conservative women have conquered the US.
This is general knowledge found on the Internet,* intelligently and artificially edited. That means that students already copying from the Internet can now also have their copied texts composed.
*but as I read not taken from Wikipedia
I understand why New York City school officials issued the following warning:
"DO NOT USE CHATGPT OR ANY OTHER AUTOMATED WRITING TOOL FOR SCHOOL PAPERS. THIS IS CHEATING AND WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. IF YOU ARE CAUGHT USING CHATGPT OR ANY OTHER AUTOMATED WRITING TOOL FOR SCHOOL PAPERS, THERE WILL BE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES."
As you can see, I am also moving between generalities, but in the following, I will describe two cases where ChatGTP makes longstanding traditions obsolete.
As a pupil, Red Baron had to write many homework essays. I wonder if this is still practiced today, but this exercise is useless in the age of chatbots.
Independent creative writing is of considerable ethical relevance because the formation of a self-confident personality is crucial for our complex society. That is well said, but this writing must now be practiced differently.
It is not only in education that we must put the familiar to the test and adapt to the new possibilities, although it is still foolhardy to write: All students should learn how to use AI wisely in the classroom. The clever handling of chatbots should soon be as much a part of general education as the ABCs and multiplication tables. Can our present teachers master this task?
Term papers are also standard in law school. Again and again, I heard that spelling and style left much to be desired in the papers handed in. If only the deadline wasn't too close, style and spelling programs helped in the past. With ChatPTG, however, the situation moves to a higher level.
Let's assume that a law student feeds his information and his hopefully correct thoughts for a legal exercise case given to him into ChatPTG. The robot will put them in a logical order and link them in a meaningful sequence and argumentation. Even more, ChatGPT builds given information and thoughts logically on each other and leads to reasoned conclusions. This is precisely the technique that every law student should learn while writing his term papers!
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said, "ChatGPT is like an e-bike for the brain. It gets you very far, very fast." A wise teacher added to this thought, "You don't learn to ride a bike on an e-bike."
Schooling and university education must be rethought. New pedagogical approaches need to emphasize skills such as critical thinking and creativity, things ChatGPT cannot do (yet?).
