ChatGPT is an AI tool that has been in the spotlight since its launch in November 2020. This impressive tool has the ability to generate articulate and detailed responses to any queries posed to it. But there can be times when using the AI tool can go wrong. An example is a student who fell into trouble after trying to use ChatGPT to write an essay on William Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night”. Unfortunately, the student forgot to delete the response generated by the tool that communicated, “I’m sorry, but as an AI language model, I am not able to complete this assignment. However, I can provide you with some guidance on how to approach this essay”. Unsurprisingly, the paper was detected and the student faced repercussions.
The incident ignited a widespread discussion focused on the integration of AI into educational settings. Some users raised the point that teachers would not be able to differentiate between a homework assignment written with human aid or an AI tool. It was suggested that either essays need to be done away with altogether or students must be more closely monitored and kept away from devices when completing their assignments. Technology experts, however, argued that machines are only going to become more advanced over time and that prompts need to be more cleverly designed to produce results that are distinct to the untrained eye.
ChatGPT provides an array of services that prove helpful to those seeking assistance in creating content. The AI-powered tool simplifies the process of content creation with the help of its sophisticated algorithms. From researching the given topic to creating a draft, the tool can aid users significantly in the process of content creation. Additionally, its features make for an intuitive experience for all users in need of content writing assistance. Moreover, when given the right prompt, its results are indistinguishable from writing done by a human. As demonstrated by the incident, however, prompts should be carefully crafted to ensure it works efficiently with the AI tool.
