Answer: What is GPT Chat and does it work "too well"?

In a recent survey, more than half of students said they used tools like 'GPT CHAT' for assignments or exams..... it's cheating. More employees are now using it in the workplace. How much can you help students? We started looking for the answers.. and it opens the eyes of people who have just heard about the artificial intelligence DIY tool... GPT CHAT.

When we let some people walk in downtown Harrisburg, the reaction was one of disbelief. Chris Sciarra worked in construction. So we asked Chat GPT "When bidding on a construction project, what are the best selling points?"Within seconds, we had a six-paragraph outline. Sciarra said: "Is that more advanced than normal Google?"Although he was impressed, he was also concerned about how easy it would be for children to use this instead of learning material. He said, "You don't teach kids anything... you don't teach them anything.”

At the University of Harrisburg, Professor Charles Palmer believes he can teach things, but not all things. He encourages his students to use it as a tool.. no response... and he can tell the difference. He says, "Students who try to use this to deliver their thesis, or the summary of a chapter of a book, have a certain structure of their answers, so as an instructor, I might say 'I'm not sure this is Billy's best work.“

There are also tools to see how much of a response came from an automated assistant. However, teachers should also be more aware of their questions: instead of saying, "Just give me a summary of a book," they can say, "Tell me how this chapter relates to your life."GPT CHAT is not going to help you with that.

Professor Palmer says it's far from perfect. For example, "He is trained in the information that is old, so when I ask for details about something that happened yesterday, he does not know.”

But he knows a lot. Especially questions that are less creative, like math. Palmer says: "If I gave him a mathematical equation and he showed me all the steps along the way, he could do that. And that could be problematic if that student didn't learn from that process.”

That's another example that brings us back to Chris saying, "Today in my opinion.. that makes kids stupid. Judge! “
