What are your thoughts on ChatGPT? (1 Viewer)

Arguably the new and improved quillbot. Ask any question and it gives you an answer. No plagiarism because it independently generates. Godsend? Wolf in sheep's clothing?

Personally, I use ChatGPT for only the most tedious questions in my economics and english advanced essays on Gatsby that I don't have time to write.

As much as I love the application, I think it'll have grave impacts on students.. academic integrity will go out the window.. Sure, AI detectors might get better and better, but it's easy to reword the ideas it gives you. People will be using CHATGPT constantly, for assessments, for homework.. I think over time this will cause a decrease in essay writing ability and perhaps even critical thinking skills. Thus, the quality of exams and HSC writing will decrease. I'm tempted to put a blocker onto the app just to limit the temptation.

My friends say I'm being overdramatic. What do you think of ChatGPT? I'd love to hear everyone's opinions over here on BoredOfStudies.

i do think this will cause a decrease in those abilities. i've used chatgpt a few times to: a) see what the hype's about and b) make satirical love letters to people based on absurd circumstances .. i'm not sure about quality of exams.. it isn't really useful for me..
i don't think its impacts will be too major for hsc - esp for say, english or economics, as its style of writing and ideas are very very basic (didn't it fail a hsc eng exam ?).. i only see a minority using it rn and i doubt it'll work that well for them

If you can use it wisely, ChatGPT can be insanely useful... (Its almost useless to just completely get it to write essays or texts as the quality of that will just be not too high).

ChatGPT’s golden. Some of these homework tasks I’m given have some of the most tiresome and futile questions they could have given us. When my teacher can’t tell the difference between a ChatGPT response and a human one, then it’s just a bad question. If it required any critical thinking or evidence, a ChatGPT response would net a band 4 maximum.

So I don’t really think ChatGPT is as profound as it’s made out to be. It’s really just an aggregator of the info from the internet. Most of its responses are in bullet point form anyway.
What it does do is relieve us of more repetitive work. Similar thing happened to manual labour in the Industrial Revolution and farm work in the Green Revolution. There is still blue collar and agricultural work, just less of it, relieving people into office work. ChatGPT will just push us into higher order work.

In a school scenario, I don’t think essay writing skills or critical thinking schools will decline at all. If schools adapt and ask more thought provoking, evidence based questions, which can’t be answered from a basic aggregate of the internet, then these skills could actually increase.

Again, provided schools work around it.

ChatGPT is a powerful tool that can assist students with generating ideas, rewording text, and improving the flow of their writing. It has the potential to save students time and effort, especially when they are struggling with writer's block or have a tight deadline.

However, as you have pointed out, there are concerns about the impact of ChatGPT on academic integrity and the development of critical thinking skills. While the AI detectors may improve over time, it is true that it is easy to reword the ideas generated by the application, making it difficult to detect plagiarism.Moreover, if students rely too heavily on ChatGPT, they may not develop the necessary writing and critical thinking skills needed for higher education and beyond. This could have negative consequences for their future academic and professional success.

Therefore, it is important to use ChatGPT responsibly and in moderation. It should be viewed as a tool to enhance one's writing skills rather than a replacement for them. Educators and institutions may also need to consider implementing policies and guidelines to promote academic integrity and ensure the appropriate use of ChatGPT and similar applications.

But that's just my honest opinion. People may disagree.

I suggest you get back to grinding instead of providing half-witted accusations and repeating the same emoticon every 2 texts. I can not believe anyone would dare accuse, the one and only, BoredUser, a king in his last life, a part time God and the lead detective of the forum. Blasphemous Aenoium, Blasphemous.
