When ChatGPT brought the conversation about GenAI and education to the public, much of the media coverage focused on concerns that this new tool would launch a level of academic dishonesty never witnessed before, as students would use GenAI to cheat on their assignments and circum- vent their own learning.
This paragraph stuck out to me because I remember when ChatGPT was getting popular around school, and all the teachers told us that if we used AI, it is cheating and it's prohibited.
In a revealing survey published by Best Colleges, over half the college students surveyed in March of 2023 claimed that their instruc- tors had not spoken with them about GenAI tools like ChatGPT.?
I thought this was interesting because in 2023 I think ChatGPT and many other AI tools were very prevalent, so I thought most, if not all, instructors would have already talked to their students about this.
The information they supply can be inaccurate or biased.
This is completely true, I have heard stories of ChatGTP giving flat out incorrect information when students attempt to use it to cheat their research assignments. However, I doubt this will be a problem for long, people used the same arguments for why Wikipedia isn't a viable source for research. its likely that ChatGTP will continue getting better and better until this is no longer a problem.
AI writers have been churningout content for at least a decade in places we might not even suspect.
This is shocking to me because I had no idea that AI was being used for a full decade, and that it is being used by NEWS stations of all places.
As to opinions about the shortcomings of the language itself, or the standard run-times, it’s important to realize that every developer has a different background, different experience, different needs, temperament, values, and a slew of other cultural motivations and concerns — individual opinions will always be largely personal and, to some degree, non-technical in nature.
