So the homework is encouraging kids to explore a real life tool and the teacher can look at the result and corrects any issue with the result thus guiding the students towards a appropriate usage.
It’s a good thing.
This would be a good take if it was actually a reliable tool. But the answers it gives are often incorrect or entirely made up, and it is not always reproducible because it’s always “learning” more and changing its output. Learning to rely on an unreliable tool is asking for trouble.
What would happen if they ever decide to crank up the paid model for ChatGPT and suddenly most people can’t afford it, only corporations, and the last 10-20 years of people coming up through the school system now don’t know how to do anything or find answers to their questions.
you can’t be serious
I bet calculator usage also goes up during the school year
At the end of the day generative AI not only exists but is likely right at the start of a logistics curve. In ten years time this tech is going to be pervasive
Would you rather have them only use it outside of school work where no one will point out that it can be wrong? Teachers could also ask questions on the studied subject in class to teach student that by copy pasting the output they are not learning much.
ChatGPT exist, kid will use it. Should adults guide them?
Future generations learning how to utilize powerful new technologies is a bad thing now?
