Why schools and universities are freaking out over ChatGPT
Welcome to the Cryptohunt Jam, where you learn – in just a minute or two a day – what is happening in crypto and other game-changing ideas. As always: In plain English.
This week, we’ll do a deeper dive into some of the surprising things AI can already be helpful with… or too helpful like is the case in today’s episode.
Doing homework has been a dreaded task since the beginning of education. And students have always been creative about finding ways around it. Who here hasn’t quickly copied a classmates math homework 5 minutes before the lesson? We are certainly guilty of that.
But now, the game has changed. And schools are freaking out.
We are, of course, talking about generative AI. It is capable of creating entirely unique text outputs from short requests. You can copy-paste your homework assignment, and it’ll do it for you. The same in online exams - just paste the question, and it’ll tell you which answer is the right one.
No wonder schools don’t like that. The entire idea of education is that YOU learn something. And in university, it is for you to produce something that is entirely new and adds to the body of knowledge of the human race.
So, what will schools do? Likely play cat-and-mouse games by trying to use AI to detect AI, until that no longer works. Ultimately, we predict they will embrace AI and teach you how to use it for what it is: A super sharp tool that needs to be handled with care and consideration.
Until then… everyone’s going to spend a lot less time doing homework and more time outside. Also not that bad!
