Comment on There's no way for teachers to figure out if students are using ChatGPT to cheat, OpenAI says in new back-to-school guide

• dojan@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  Zoe Bee did a video essay on how the modern education system (which really isn’t much different from the one we had 100 years ago) is kind of flawed.

  I rather hope that the advent of AI tools will force education to evolve away from the broken systems we have today.

  I dont mean to be rude or anything but if I understand correctly what youre saying is dont teach them anything but how to input questions into a text field, right? Its the same old statement as “Why learn basic math if calculators exist” do you not see the problem there? Sure you get the answer but you wont understand what any of it means which will hinder the knowlege that humanity gained through the thousands of years they been on this earth. Thats a horrible take and I pray you understand why. I do agree that technology is a great tool and should be taught how to be used in school, it shouldn’t be the only method of getting answers, thats just dumb and hurts everyone in the future.

    “Why learn basic math if calculators exist”

    If you are spending your time writing and solving equations, and many students currently are being ‘taught’ that way, you are being taught math incorrectly. This technology disrupts that same principal on the writing and regurgitation of information side of learning. As an excercise for ChatGPT, I’m going to ask it to outline an essay on the fluid dynamics of low silica vulcansim and see what it comes up with. The exact prompt I’m going to use is. “Hi Chat GPT. I’m begining the process of writing an essay on the flue dynamics of low silica vulcanism. I realize this may require some very domain specific knowledge, so I’ll be providing you with information and asking you to clarify sections later. In this first attempt, I’d like you to cover the issue in the broadest way, but please get highly specific in sections that I should cover. I would like a high amount of detail in this outline. Please also give me key words and phrases to search for for each sub-point of the outline.”

    Here is ChatGPTs response:

    —end—

    I don’t necessarily know what the right answer is, but I know that the wrong answer is to stick our (as a teacher of sorts) collective heads in the sand and pretend that this isn’t a game changing technology for most sectors. I tell my students and mentees to absolute use ChatGPT. That response took ChatGPT about 15 seconds. Its probably more than good enough for me to write a decent essay on.

    If you aren’t using ChatGPT or teaching your students to use this technology, then you are doing them a disservice.

      Being able to asses if the answer you got from the AI tool is reasonable relies on your ability to understand how to get to that answer.

      And, believe it or not, there will be times when a person might not have access to an AI tool to answer their questions, and they might need to be able to come up with their own answer independently.

  This is true… we should be teaching them prompt skills and utilising it every day. Then pay wall the fuck out of it on the day of exams…

  Should prepare them nicely 😏

    Equity and access are important but fundamentally different questions.

  And what is this suppose to teach the students in a world where you can plug a prompt into a machine and get most of a right answer?

  How to determine when that response is not correct.
