I've spent twenty-five years of my life struggling to keep focus and find purpose but chatGPT helped me reach the conclusion of who I really am and helped me realize I have ASD. And I'm thankful to every person before me bc I was always to scared to take time to ask a simple question. Always nervous and unable to speak or breathe. It was hard for that me then, but now with perspective on life and time to reminisce as well as focus more on the moment
It's effective, doesn't get angry and let the student ask questions that he/she is afraid to ask in the class with 20+ other students ending up making fun of him later because the question was too simple "Everyone already should know", yea not exactly. Not all students have the same level, some are fast learners, some have better home environments and financial support while others are slow and have problems in their personal lives, when they ask questions and its made fun of in class they are left behind. Do not just assume that all the teachers are "Great", Chat GPT if I ask it to explain this algebra problem and it explains it and still, if I don't get it I can say "Explain it in a way to make a 5-year-old understand it" and it will go literally step by step to make me understand the problem which only a Good Teacher will be able to do and it is also to some extent where nervous student would just say "yes I got it" but didn't in reality. You can ask however you want and it will just reply without anger, humiliation, and mockery. I would just love it if they made AI check all the exam papers which would eliminate all the favoritism in the universities and colleges and would also help in awarding scholarships to the ones who deserve it.
The problem is ChatGPT can be and regularly is wrong. They deliver these incorrect statements as if it's fact. Therefore, a bit of common sense is also extremely necessary. And well... the people working on these AI programs don't really care about that - in fact, they really don't care about anything other than their technological arms race and making absurd money from it. They pretend they don't earn any money at all to anyone poking their nose into it, selling their specialised tools to big business (tools designed to cut through the noise) while also letting kids and greedy techbros goof around with their older models for free (thus destabilising the creative arts industries, because it allows people to bypass needing any real skill to create anything). Leaving AI to mark an exam could cause similar problems - especially as the AI 'learns' from those inputs. What could be a regular mistake across all exam papers might cause the AI to change the right answer to that incorrect one, because it learns from correlation. It doesn't check to see if that correlation is correct because it's often not equipped to do so. Oh yeah, and don't tell me that anyone wanting to save money on a marking tool isn't going to use the noisy free model with all its flaws instead. Because you know they would. Favouritism sucks. I know that because I was a victim of it. But this could be potentially worse, as it could result in the severely unqualified being in jobs they shouldn't be - and this is already an issue, you absolutely don't want more of them.

I agree as a student, there are also some of my classmates that uses chatgpt for cheating but accept this for hard and complex question it helps me very much (especially writing essays).
Chatgtp is incredibly helpful for students. Not talking about for cheating but for understanding complex questions. You can ask basically anything you don’t understand and you get a solid answer pretty quickly
but do you KNOW that answer is actually RIGHT? Considering how confident it is with the information it gives you, including false info, you still need to double-check it. It's a great tool, but definitely not perfect, yet.
As a high school teacher, the use of AI in the classroom cannot be avoided or banned. Instead, teachers must learn how to use AI to enhance student learning. Teachers should be showing students how to appropriately use AI in their class, rather than saying its simply "cheating" or not allowed.
It has enhanced my learning immensely. I still think critically and read my classical literature or books. I sometimes need an enhancement for getting my communication across efficiently and clearly. I remember a lecturer telling me in 2017 that all colleges were moving away from exams. I feel this is not the case anymore. Exams will continue to be used until they develop something different that can assess students
I'm autistic and I used ChatGPT for my most recent term papers, not to write the whole thing for me or anything like that but, for example, to summarize long texts for me so I could see if they included the information I needed to cite in my paper. Usually, reading these texts takes me ages because my neurodivergence simply does not equip me qith a long enough attention span, but having AI transform every paragraph into two or three sentences so I can see if I even need to read the whole thing helps a lot. It also helps by simply transforming academic language into more easily understandable sentences which has saved me from quite a number of extreme headaches
This actually feels like a better use of the tool. Unfortunately, I think a lot of people are not interested in using it for this, and would rather just not do the work.
It’s about thinking, for one’s self, that is what writing an essay is all about. Calculators are fine, but you should be able to do basic math without the need for one.
@@sr2291 You can (and always should) ask ChatGPT to cite references. It gets things very wrong still and can destroy your reputation. As a techie, I spent 4 hours the other day trying to get some software to work, ChatGPT wasted my whole morning - I had to go to a human on stackoverflow in the end to a working solution. Where it works for me in my job is getting minutes from meeting transcripts (carefully and first removing names/products etc), helping me design software solutions (with the occasional exception), write content for technical papers and determine if so-called product SMEs know their product as well as they think.
@@sr2291 Democrat/woke based schools are doing away with having to provide proof. Kids in Flint, MI are being passed along from grade to grade not able to read, write, or do simple arithmetic Case in point about math skills. In 6th grade, many are unable to count to 1000K. They count to 199 then say 1000.
In the same way it would be laughable to watch someone doing math by hand when machines do it better and faster than a human. At some future time it will inspire laughter to see people doing anything without the assistance of an AI. Is it terrifying? Kind of! The keyboard I'm using uses AI to try to correct how I write and predict what words to use. Some people don't even realize that's what's happening while they write. It's just a keyboard app yet we are already unwittingly using AI each day.
I think it is more than that. Do you need to know how the calculator works to use it? Critically AI is a tool in a toolbox, to some extent the Swiss army knife for seeking knowledge to solve problems but you need to know how to use it properly - this is the skill to be developed. If you keep going back to grass roots basics, you'll never have time to stand on the shoulders of AI and do something great. In the future, the divide will come: we'll know a robot can whittle some arts and crafts thing better than any human but (i) it won't be the same and (ii) do we really want AI to achieve everything? Great if it does work and pays taxes to keep us all but humans exist as social animals, AI can backfill the mundane, it can keep us healthy but we need to maintain our abilities to do our own things.
Chatgpt is my professor, my personal friend and the god of education system. Definitely using Chatgpt personalizes the given questions answer in most easiest understandable way possible. A great salute to the engineers. Lots of blessings to you people ❤🎉
I use ChatGPT to write essay outlines. I’m autistic and struggle to put my thoughts in order, especially with essays. I give my thesis, say what kind of essay, say how many sources i’m using, and it helps me put what I want to say in order.
As a professor I have a particular level of expertise harnessed from reading, writing, teaching, and experience. Years of multiple body of knowledge in a field. I know the answer I should receive with certain questions that I ask GPT. The problem is, a student doesn’t know if they got a comprehensive answer or not. Only someone with a particular level of expertise would. Moreover, Chat GPT and other AI programs are bias. Because we are bias. So, now you will generate more bias without sound vetting. What I tell my grad students is AI is simply a starting point. That is it
@@WWlogics The problem in the current education system is that the professors have structural limitations in having direct interactions with the teachers. They can show mistakes but not guide their students along right path.
My college professor actually allows us to use ChatGPT for all assignments in his class if we want. While its not always spot on its pretty useful, and quite honestly outside of being a student and actually learning stuff on my own there really isnt a reason to avoid it if you need help. Very interesting stuff.
actually i am sorry but must disagree, the reason to avoid it is the known "GPT alucination" factor, or missinformation. would be same as learn from facebook, where can see that an Engine, if use reverse Cicle turns to a generator....Never. but if that is your study platform, you will live in... some other fantasy world, not the 3rd rock from sun. you will have GPT world information, or social world information, that is different from Real Life and Real World Information.
I don’t understand why some people are saying it’s not the right choice to do because it might have some negative impact on you.. for me i use it to study and when i say “study” i actually use it to learn. When there’s something I don’t understand and give myself chances to try and still get it wrong that’s when I use ChatGPT to explain the question and how it should be solved and so I get it faster than I do in school and I understand better. I think it’s not about the tool itself but it’s about the way you use it. If you’re using it to cheat and do nothing yourself to put effort to complete your work, that’s when you’d find negative effects within yourself but if you’re studying yourself reading the book and writing but only using it for hard and complex things that you couldn’t get them in mind here’s when you’ll get good grades.
I really wish I had a teacher like this in my high school English glasses, I think I would have learned a LOT more and not needed to take summer school every year! Yay, for having ADHD/ASD!
Of course we should. A couple of centuries ago we allowed them to use books to support their learning. We must continue to adapt to technology from the printing press to AI. As educators it’s our job to figure out how to use it because it WILL become mainstream.
“A five paragraph rigorously structured essay” is “approaching a concept [and] break[ing] it down into bit-sized pieces” - No, not the only way one can break things into bit-sized pieces, but the essay has been the approach that fits most any problem one encounters - a conceptual problem, at least. So Ms. Berg’s argument fails here, and does so obviously. The opposition she erects isn’t an opposition at all, and (given her often return to “the real world”), the real world of the essay is one conversing with oneself. Yes, students are writing to themselves, not their teachers, and not for distant bosses. The final irony here is ms. Berg’s entire 15 minutes: it’s an essay, and essay voiced and with a few illustrations. I’ve not checked closely to see how many paragraphs she speaks, but do notice that once or twice she seems to be reading. Are there five paragraphs here? Perhaps.
You are great. Your talk is decisive/final. We can be free from the debate about chatGPT and save a huge amount of time. It would be taken for granted that you would've been somewhat helped by your most reliable friend, right?
@@nun-chan9433 You may be saving a huge amount of time, but at the cost of not learning anything other than that the human brain might as well be obsolete.
Essays always felt like a major time sink to me. I mean, the hours we put into figuring out how to express our thoughts on paper is just mind-boggling. Nobody speaks the way they write! Writing is fundamentally about communication, and if AI can help us enhance our written communication, it's worth a shot, don't you think? Perhaps it's time we shift our focus towards honing our speaking skills instead of dedicating so much time to writing. - Written by ChatGPT
Educational system has to go beyond just submitting an essay or a dissertation. Education would be compelled to start a result oriented mode. Education must not be based on essay and dissertation.
There may be a concern that it impacts critical thinking skills but for a student to effectively use AI tools they have to know exactly what to ask of it. That takes critical thinking. Sure they can easily ask a brief question but when they need something done with specific parameters they need to think critically so the AI tool they're using provides the best response.
It’s a nice talk, I agree with what you are saying. But I had a Question- If the students start using AI during their school life where they actually should learn the basics…will they be able to face some real-life problems?... And if there is some natural calamity or any such kind of situation where he or she can’t use either AI or the Internet but has some deadline…how they will face this situation in the future (I meant only the future students)?
I think I have a response on that. First of all a suggestion is to use AI to basically help students understanding the concept of something. That's something we can exploit. Instead of focusing on the way for example a student solve an equation we can focusing more on understanding what that equation show. Also we can encourage and teach students to make their own notes based on the solutions fit better to them and being easier for them to understand. In that way the student also is trained in handling mathematics for example of course not professionaly but since being able to keep notes in a more explainable way can easily revisit those notes for a reminder in case AI and internet are not accessible. Also since the undrrsting is rewarding and less time consuming that can lead to many students try challenging themselves and cross validate their work with AI's
Essay writing should be converted into public speaking . Most of the student lack this skills , which is somehow necessary in today's world to express our views
1:56 This is wrong. It does not learn over time. For it to learn, a new model has to be trained, possibly on a larger corpus of data. A model like GPT-4 (the P in the name says it - PREtrained) just exists, might get finetuned here and there, but does not learn anything immediately from a conversation.

Ask the student to complete a paper using AI. That becomes their baseline. How much better can they do with real intelligence? AI is not a crutch. It is a challenge. Let the student ask the AI to evaluate the work. It can guide teachers in this
A good idea. The practical problem is that a teachers role (if they still have one beyond housekeeping) would be to read both - a 100% time increase, and do a more rigorous marking regime which compares the two for their strengths and weaknesses. Still, a grande idea. I like it. Another slight problem is that to improve a got essay would leave Many students in the dust: style and mechanics would have them outclassed, organization would have many (most) wondering what else to add, but not how to differently shape the argument itself.
How did she teach them to write? THIS is the reason why students who end up in college don't know how to write (i.e., to think, to communicate their thoughts).
You cannot edit unless you already know how to write. You cannot learn to write from ChatGPT. ANY educator who has been reading student writing for years can tell the difference between authentic work and ChatGPT-generated writing. AI-generated work is BAD writing. It's sterile and lifeless, and often inaccurate. I could not disagree more with a majority of what was said in this talk.
It is not anyone's role to decide whether individuals can or cannot use AI. The real question is whether new methods of testing comprehension and application of concepts should be adapted. AI is simply a tool, and students should only need to demonstrate their understanding.
I am using AI in my college level courses this semester and encouraging students to use it to problem solve in healthcare education. If you are old enough to remember when both the internet and Google first emerged, everyone thought it would ruin education. It did not, it enhanced it when used correctly and effectively to enhance student learning. So, too, will AI platforms.
I am all for technology at schools, but I don’t like that the past decade, educators and school admins jump on the ‘progression bandwagon’ without evidence that students actually learn better theough technology. In the States, they got rid of hard copy books, replaced paper and pencil with tablets, gamifying learning without research and proof that this actually works better with kids and doesn’t cause lack of focus, problems with memory, or is suitable for all learning styles. I don’t mean that we need to go back to Victorian times of schooling or that we have to get rid of technology. What I am saying is that technology is just a tool, not the panacea for all problems, and we shouldn’t throw the baby (traditional style of teaching) out with the bath water because we found a more flashy toy. Learning how to write a paper has much value in our life because it makes you a critical thinker, and makes you aware of the power of the words. We cannot leave this to technology.
We must keep up, and learn ways to use for good ! I agree with this, if we immediately ban or block this technology, children will try to use and work around it. Embrace it ! See what good it can do.
You'll not put the genie back in the bottle. I, like so many, have already downloads source codes, I can build a corpus of data from the Internet - just in case my government decides to ban it. It will end up on the dark web it any jurisdiction tries to stop it. Use it sensibly: certainly don't let Microsoft's AI read your Intellectual Property unless you want them to own you.
If teachers and professors actually challenged and engaged students instead of making them regurgitate answers based upon appeals to authority we wouldn't be largely having this problem now. wed be more well prepared
Not necessarily - if you read the books of any luminaries in AI and tech. You will understand that some of the economies that will greatly benefit from technological advances are those in the most need to solutions to their problems and who choose to use technology as a tool to curate solutions to their problems. Think innovation. That points to emerging markets. Think China, India and Africa. They will benefit the most. The only exception to this is Japan because of their aging population - they will innovate the most in Robotics to counter this. Technology and data are the great leveraging tools to such markets because of the dire need for it.
I think it’s funny. She says she had her students busy making posters and debates and games stuff that AI would not co-op from them but AI can do just all those things so what are the students left to do?
Maybe students should be learning how to write complex sentences with actual writing utensils on paper as well as developing a thorough knowledge and application of AI.
It’s a tool. In order to utilize it efficiently and effectively one must first understand the basic concept of the outcome in order to evaluate it. So, yes. Students must know how to think critically and write well. Now, here is the real question. Will students learn more from AI than from the average English teacher who doesn’t even have an English degree?
What does that look like? Studying, yes. But how can educators assess how well it is used for studying IF students submit it as their own work. You say “yes@ but you offer no explanation.
Studying has never been easier, students have literal access to the internet, they can easily look up articles, research papers, pdfs of books, YT tutorials, and other learning resources.
The simple truth is that math, grammar, Latin, etc. have no practical use whatsoever! They're just like listening to music or climbing a rock - purely for enjoyment
I concede that ai is a tool that can be used for good, but I think the bad will far outweigh any positive outcomes. Ai can diagnose people? Why should doctors take care in learning about the body? Why have doctors at all? Techies said the smartphone would be the perfect tool and would enlighten humanity… look where we are now.
hello can you help me.. im debating for "the rise of language generating ai can boost students academic performance" and i dont even know anything about this topic do you think i should be in the opp or the prop?
The issue here is some educators can't accept the fact that learning this day is different and can be called way easier. Some of them forcefully make the students cling to the traditional way of learning(books). Of course students will be more willing to learn things they are interested in, instead of writing an essay about how roman Empire collapse which never really help me in my life and I'm not even a descendant of Romans. I agree that educators should be more into giving students activities not having them write 3 pages of essay about something never interests them. And also for students like me, even tho we have given a very valuable and a very quality of life tool. We should still open a path for our improvement instead of heavily relying with the help of AI. Using it when we are given an inhumane number of activities are reasonable. But using it just for the sake of your laziness could turn your life to the bottom.
The thing we still have to do is think and understand. It can be easy to get mother to write a letter for you, but do you understand what she's writing?😏
It's kind of like any other source, just because it's in a book or on the internet doesn't mean it's true or unbiased either. But yeah things definitely need to change with AI like ChatGPT and you should never put eggs in one basket. Get verification from other places.
Also it is not 100% accurate and it helps to have a broad knowledge on your topic that you are writing about and in a sense "fact check" ChatGPT and it will correct itself and add your research findings to whatever your topic is that you are working on.
It's not helpful to anyone. All it does is raise the bar for what people have to achieve, just to survive. And teach students that they don't need to learn anything, because they can just copy and paste to pass the assignment.
We are already too reliant on technology. In a face-to-face interview, your student may not be able to think on his or her feet. If the company or government security does not allow electronics to enter its offices from outside, your student will have his first real test.
This will be like asking should we let students use books and the internet in the near future. Anyone who doesn't learn how to use and work with AI will be as ineffective as your grandma who can't use a computer.
i mean i definiety understand using AI as a tool for getting answer but lets be for real students are not using it for the right reasons. I have watched people geting A and 100% by doing no work

Usually, reading these texts takes me ages because my neurodivergence simply does not equip me qith a long enough attention span, but having AI transform every paragraph into two or three sentences so I can see if I even need to read the whole thing helps a lot. It also helps by simply transforming academic language into more easily understandable sentences which has saved me from quite a number of extreme headaches
This actually feels like a better use of the tool. Unfortunately, I think a lot of people are not interested in using it for this, and would rather just not do the work.
It’s about thinking, for one’s self, that is what writing an essay is all about. Calculators are fine, but you should be able to do basic math without the need for one.
It doesn't matter if you use a calculator for math because in most math, you have to show proof of how you came to the answer.
@@sr2291 You can (and always should) ask ChatGPT to cite references. It gets things very wrong still and can destroy your reputation. As a techie, I spent 4 hours the other day trying to get some software to work, ChatGPT wasted my whole morning - I had to go to a human on stackoverflow in the end to a working solution. Where it works for me in my job is getting minutes from meeting transcripts (carefully and first removing names/products etc), helping me design software solutions (with the occasional exception), write content for technical papers and determine if so-called product SMEs know their product as well as they think.
@@sr2291 Democrat/woke based schools are doing away with having to provide proof. Kids in Flint, MI are being passed along from grade to grade not able to read, write, or do simple arithmetic Case in point about math skills. In 6th grade, many are unable to count to 1000K. They count to 199 then say 1000.
In the same way it would be laughable to watch someone doing math by hand when machines do it better and faster than a human. At some future time it will inspire laughter to see people doing anything without the assistance of an AI.
Is it terrifying? Kind of! The keyboard I'm using uses AI to try to correct how I write and predict what words to use. Some people don't even realize that's what's happening while they write. It's just a keyboard app yet we are already unwittingly using AI each day.
I think it is more than that. Do you need to know how the calculator works to use it? Critically AI is a tool in a toolbox, to some extent the Swiss army knife for seeking knowledge to solve problems but you need to know how to use it properly - this is the skill to be developed. If you keep going back to grass roots basics, you'll never have time to stand on the shoulders of AI and do something great.
In the future, the divide will come: we'll know a robot can whittle some arts and crafts thing better than any human but (i) it won't be the same and (ii) do we really want AI to achieve everything?
Great if it does work and pays taxes to keep us all but humans exist as social animals, AI can backfill the mundane, it can keep us healthy but we need to maintain our abilities to do our own things.
Chatgpt is my professor, my personal friend and the god of education system. Definitely using Chatgpt personalizes the given questions answer in most easiest understandable way possible. A great salute to the engineers. Lots of blessings to you people ❤🎉
I use ChatGPT to write essay outlines. I’m autistic and struggle to put my thoughts in order, especially with essays. I give my thesis, say what kind of essay, say how many sources i’m using, and it helps me put what I want to say in order.
As a professor I have a particular level of expertise harnessed from reading, writing, teaching, and experience. Years of multiple body of knowledge in a field. I know the answer I should receive with certain questions that I ask GPT. The problem is, a student doesn’t know if they got a comprehensive answer or not. Only someone with a particular level of expertise would. Moreover, Chat GPT and other AI programs are bias. Because we are bias. So, now you will generate more bias without sound vetting. What I tell my grad students is AI is simply a starting point. That is it
@@WWlogics The problem in the current education system is that the professors have structural limitations in having direct interactions with the teachers. They can show mistakes but not guide their students along right path.
My college professor actually allows us to use ChatGPT for all assignments in his class if we want. While its not always spot on its pretty useful, and quite honestly outside of being a student and actually learning stuff on my own there really isnt a reason to avoid it if you need help. Very interesting stuff.
actually i am sorry but must disagree, the reason to avoid it is the known "GPT alucination" factor, or missinformation. would be same as learn from facebook, where can see that an Engine, if use reverse Cicle turns to a generator....Never. but if that is your study platform, you will live in... some other fantasy world, not the 3rd rock from sun. you will have GPT world information, or social world information, that is different from Real Life and Real World Information.
I don’t understand why some people are saying it’s not the right choice to do because it might have some negative impact on you.. for me i use it to study and when i say “study” i actually use it to learn. When there’s something I don’t understand and give myself chances to try and still get it wrong that’s when I use ChatGPT to explain the question and how it should be solved and so I get it faster than I do in school and I understand better. I think it’s not about the tool itself but it’s about the way you use it. If you’re using it to cheat and do nothing yourself to put effort to complete your work, that’s when you’d find negative effects within yourself but if you’re studying yourself reading the book and writing but only using it for hard and complex things that you couldn’t get them in mind here’s when you’ll get good grades.
Let’s support this… I remember going to the university library. I’m pulling up old test to study.
I'm a student . I have been using ChatGPT since its launch and I have to say it's a game changer. it's completely a new way of accessing information
You'll never ban AI or stop people from using it. Recognizing when people use the tool, but then choose NOT to make it their own will be the issue.
I think at this point students are going to use it whether anyone “lets” them or not…
I really wish I had a teacher like this in my high school English glasses, I think I would have learned a LOT more and not needed to take summer school every year! Yay, for having ADHD/ASD!
Amen! It is time we embrace the technology and learn how to use it within the learning environments.
Awesome! Hopefully so much needed reform of education system comes soon.
Of course we should. A couple of centuries ago we allowed them to use books to support their learning. We must continue to adapt to technology from the printing press to AI. As educators it’s our job to figure out how to use it because it WILL become mainstream.
it's only becoming mainstream because of how clueless people are
If I had my way, kids should never have any technology in the classroom until they have proven themselves independent thinkers.
“A five paragraph rigorously structured essay” is “approaching a concept [and] break[ing] it down into bit-sized pieces” - No, not the only way one can break things into bit-sized pieces, but the essay has been the approach that fits most any problem one encounters - a conceptual problem, at least.
So Ms. Berg’s argument fails here, and does so obviously. The opposition she erects isn’t an opposition at all, and (given her often return to “the real world”), the real world of the essay is one conversing with oneself. Yes, students are writing to themselves, not their teachers, and not for distant bosses.
The final irony here is ms. Berg’s entire 15 minutes: it’s an essay, and essay voiced and with a few illustrations. I’ve not checked closely to see how many paragraphs she speaks, but do notice that once or twice she seems to be reading. Are there five paragraphs here? Perhaps.
She reads her "talk" throughout the entire video...
I’m already seeing results from this!
"It's the best part of my student life, which makes life incredibly easy."
You are great. Your talk is decisive/final.
We can be free from the debate about chatGPT and save a huge amount of time. It would be taken for granted that you would've been somewhat helped by your most reliable friend, right?
😂 right
@@AashishKishnani
You might be a mentor of her, right?
@@nun-chan9433 You may be saving a huge amount of time, but at the cost of not learning anything other than that the human brain might as well be obsolete.
Yes. Next question.
Essays always felt like a major time sink to me. I mean, the hours we put into figuring out how to express our thoughts on paper is just mind-boggling. Nobody speaks the way they write! Writing is fundamentally about communication, and if AI can help us enhance our written communication, it's worth a shot, don't you think? Perhaps it's time we shift our focus towards honing our speaking skills instead of dedicating so much time to writing.

Educational system has to go beyond just submitting an essay or a dissertation. Education would be compelled to start a result oriented mode. Education must not be based on essay and dissertation.
There may be a concern that it impacts critical thinking skills but for a student to effectively use AI tools they have to know exactly what to ask of it. That takes critical thinking. Sure they can easily ask a brief question but when they need something done with specific parameters they need to think critically so the AI tool they're using provides the best response.
Mam your voice is just like Ielts exam listening 😅
It’s a nice talk, I agree with what you are saying. But I had a Question- If the students start using AI during their school life where they actually should learn the basics…will they be able to face some real-life problems?...
And if there is some natural calamity or any such kind of situation where he or she can’t use either AI or the Internet but has some deadline…how they will face this situation in the future (I meant only the future students)?
I think I have a response on that. First of all a suggestion is to use AI to basically help students understanding the concept of something. That's something we can exploit. Instead of focusing on the way for example a student solve an equation we can focusing more on understanding what that equation show. Also we can encourage and teach students to make their own notes based on the solutions fit better to them and being easier for them to understand. In that way the student also is trained in handling mathematics for example of course not professionaly but since being able to keep notes in a more explainable way can easily revisit those notes for a reminder in case AI and internet are not accessible. Also since the undrrsting is rewarding and less time consuming that can lead to many students try challenging themselves and cross validate their work with AI's
Essay writing should be converted into public speaking . Most of the student lack this skills , which is somehow necessary in today's world to express our views
Brilliant article. Great listen and very relevant as a clinical psychology master's student
Thank You ❤
Really enjoyed this knowledgeable session
Bravo! Thank you so much for your presentation! :)
such a good speaker....
1:56 This is wrong. It does not learn over time. For it to learn, a new model has to be trained, possibly on a larger corpus of data. A model like GPT-4 (the P in the name says it - PREtrained) just exists, might get finetuned here and there, but does not learn anything immediately from a conversation.

Ask the student to complete a paper using AI. That becomes their baseline. How much better can they do with real intelligence? AI is not a crutch. It is a challenge.
Let the student ask the AI to evaluate the work. It can guide teachers in this
A good idea. The practical problem is that a teachers role (if they still have one beyond housekeeping) would be to read both - a 100% time increase, and do a more rigorous marking regime which compares the two for their strengths and weaknesses.
Still, a grande idea. I like it. Another slight problem is that to improve a got essay would leave
Many students in the dust: style and mechanics would have them outclassed, organization would have many (most) wondering what else to add, but not how to differently shape the argument itself.
@@paulfrancis4227 The AI could be told to make the paper on a level consistent with the student. Can the student raise the level?
She thinks getting a machine to transform Romeo and Juliette into a telenovella is a fabulous idea
How did she teach them to write? THIS is the reason why students who end up in college don't know how to write (i.e., to think, to communicate their thoughts).
You cannot edit unless you already know how to write. You cannot learn to write from ChatGPT. ANY educator who has been reading student writing for years can tell the difference between authentic work and ChatGPT-generated writing. AI-generated work is BAD writing. It's sterile and lifeless, and often inaccurate. I could not disagree more with a majority of what was said in this talk.
It is not anyone's role to decide whether individuals can or cannot use AI. The real question is whether new methods of testing comprehension and application of concepts should be adapted. AI is simply a tool, and students should only need to demonstrate their understanding.
Great episode
An Iraqi student passed by here, studying and working at home. Pray for me to succeed
I am amazed ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊
I am using AI in my college level courses this semester and encouraging students to use it to problem solve in healthcare education. If you are old enough to remember when both the internet and Google first emerged, everyone thought it would ruin education. It did not, it enhanced it when used correctly and effectively to enhance student learning. So, too, will AI platforms.
Why does no one ask what music is for? If someone asks what math is for, it simply means they don't like it
AI is love!
I am all for technology at schools, but I don’t like that the past decade, educators and school admins jump on the ‘progression bandwagon’ without evidence that students actually learn better theough technology. In the States, they got rid of hard copy books, replaced paper and pencil with tablets, gamifying learning without research and proof that this actually works better with kids and doesn’t cause lack of focus, problems with memory, or is suitable for all learning styles. I don’t mean that we need to go back to Victorian times of schooling or that we have to get rid of technology. What I am saying is that technology is just a tool, not the panacea for all problems, and we shouldn’t throw the baby (traditional style of teaching) out with the bath water because we found a more flashy toy. Learning how to write a paper has much value in our life because it makes you a critical thinker, and makes you aware of the power of the words. We cannot leave this to technology.
Yes!!!
permission to use a short portion of the video to include in our school documentary project for compliance. thank you!
as a diesel mechanic student i like chat gpt my ai its the most helpful tool
We must keep up, and learn ways to use for good ! I agree with this, if we immediately ban or block this technology, children will try to use and work around it. Embrace it ! See what good it can do.
You'll not put the genie back in the bottle. I, like so many, have already downloads source codes, I can build a corpus of data from the Internet - just in case my government decides to ban it. It will end up on the dark web it any jurisdiction tries to stop it. Use it sensibly: certainly don't let Microsoft's AI read your Intellectual Property unless you want them to own you.
Brilliant
If teachers and professors actually challenged and engaged students instead of making them regurgitate answers based upon appeals to authority we wouldn't be largely having this problem now. wed be more well prepared
Africa will understand this after 100 years 🥸🥸
Not necessarily - if you read the books of any luminaries in AI and tech. You will understand that some of the economies that will greatly benefit from technological advances are those in the most need to solutions to their problems and who choose to use technology as a tool to curate solutions to their problems. Think innovation. That points to emerging markets. Think China, India and Africa. They will benefit the most. The only exception to this is Japan because of their aging population - they will innovate the most in Robotics to counter this. Technology and data are the great leveraging tools to such markets because of the dire need for it.
I think it’s funny. She says she had her students busy making posters and debates and games stuff that AI would not co-op from them but AI can do just all those things so what are the students left to do?
Maybe students should be learning how to write complex sentences with actual writing utensils on paper as well as developing a thorough knowledge and application of AI.
It’s a tool.
In order to utilize it efficiently and effectively one must first understand the basic concept of the outcome in order to evaluate it.
So, yes. Students must know how to think critically and write well.
Now, here is the real question.
Will students learn more from AI than from the average English teacher who doesn’t even have an English degree?
_Yes._
plz use subtitle. Watching this video not only for motivate but also I try to improve my English.
Great!
Very romantic, but this could all change with copyright laws overnight.
Consider it a resource
Amazing😊
the answer is yes, we should embrace ai and make studying easier.
No, old man
What does that look like? Studying, yes. But how can educators assess how well it is used for studying IF students submit it as their own work. You say “yes@ but you offer no explanation.
Studying has never been easier, students have literal access to the internet, they can easily look up articles, research papers, pdfs of books, YT tutorials, and other learning resources.
@@macdiscipleHow do teachers know that students didn't just copy their work from a book?
The simple truth is that math, grammar, Latin, etc. have no practical use whatsoever! They're just like listening to music or climbing a rock - purely for enjoyment
I concede that ai is a tool that can be used for good, but I think the bad will far outweigh any positive outcomes. Ai can diagnose people? Why should doctors take care in learning about the body? Why have doctors at all? Techies said the smartphone would be the perfect tool and would enlighten humanity… look where we are now.
hello can you help me.. im debating for "the rise of language generating ai can boost students academic performance" and i dont even know anything about this topic do you think i should be in the opp or the prop?
The issue here is some educators can't accept the fact that learning this day is different and can be called way easier. Some of them forcefully make the students cling to the traditional way of learning(books).
Of course students will be more willing to learn things they are interested in, instead of writing an essay about how roman Empire collapse which never really help me in my life and I'm not even a descendant of Romans.
I agree that educators should be more into giving students activities not having them write 3 pages of essay about something never interests them.
And also for students like me, even tho we have given a very valuable and a very quality of life tool. We should still open a path for our improvement instead of heavily relying with the help of AI. Using it when we are given an inhumane number of activities are reasonable. But using it just for the sake of your laziness could turn your life to the bottom.
Copilot is now my best friend.
How about. No.
Thanks I finished my school before Internet 😂
Maybe some day, ChatGPT will finally be good at math. We are not there yet.
Using chatgpt doesn't mean cheating. If we don't like them to do so, there is always a way to assess.
In era of chatgpt bye writting test and welcome oral test. Sorry students.
The thing we still have to do is think and understand. It can be easy to get mother to write a letter for you, but do you understand what she's writing?😏
Absolutely not
If AI was actually correct and unbiased maybe
But that’s not the case
AI is unreliable. The answer is what the AI mentors and gurus want it to give to you. Look at wikipedia when it comes to politics. Total bias
It's kind of like any other source, just because it's in a book or on the internet doesn't mean it's true or unbiased either. But yeah things definitely need to change with AI like ChatGPT and you should never put eggs in one basket. Get verification from other places.
With how broken and outdated the US Education System is, I saw let Students use AI for whatever subject(s) they’re working on.
should we let students use me?
Also it is not 100% accurate and it helps to have a broad knowledge on your topic that you are writing about and in a sense "fact check" ChatGPT and it will correct itself and add your research findings to whatever your topic is that you are working on.
It’s funny that they don’t have to think for themselves anymore. Ai is dangerous…
Good
Gpt is helpful for students 1️⃣❣️
Correct
It's not helpful to anyone. All it does is raise the bar for what people have to achieve, just to survive. And teach students that they don't need to learn anything, because they can just copy and paste to pass the assignment.
We are already too reliant on technology. In a face-to-face interview, your student may not be able to think on his or her feet. If the company or government security does not allow electronics to enter its offices from outside, your student will have his first real test.
This will be like asking should we let students use books and the internet in the near future. Anyone who doesn't learn how to use and work with AI will be as ineffective as your grandma who can't use a computer.
