Two students admit using the artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT to help them with essays.

For the essay he wrote with the help of AI, Tom received a first - the highest mark he has ever had at university."I didn't copy everything word for word, but I would prompt it with questions that gave me access to information much quicker than usual," said Tom.

A recent Freedom of Information request to Cardiff University revealed that during the January 2023 assessment period, there were 14,443 visits to the ChatGPT site on the university's own wi-fi networks.OpenAI launched ChatGPT last November "Most visits have been identified as coming from our research network - our School of Computer Science and Informatics, for example, has an academic interest in the research and teaching of artificial intelligence," said Cardiff University.

"I've used it quite a few times since December. I think I've used it at least a little bit for every assessment I've had," he said.

Only exams should count towards grades.

isn't that cheating

😯

It knows who provoked the war in Ukraine

SO the hysterical laws against website companies made no difference then? And anyway, the big ones moves to Dubai; most essay sites foreign too. GET BACK TO EXAMS - the only way now. And admit fewer students to uni perhaps?

No shit 😂

They need to be tested exclusively by exams, so they can't cheat. I also think this underscores that most students don't actually think for themselves since ChatGPT is just regurgitating the standard arguments found elsewhere.

It’s almost as if the entire educational system is going to have to reconsider how to measure a persons educational level without the months of now pointless writing 🙃

The current models of teaching & learning are likely already outdated anyway. OpenAI's Sam Altman has been talking for at least 5 yrs about AI leading to, amongst other scenarios, the introduction of UniversalBasicIncomes (UBI) in place of deleted jobs.

Stop giving homework if you don't want it to be completed how you want it: problem solved.
