THE CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF CHATGPT

Examining the implications of advanced artificial intelligence within institutional education

ChatGPT, a cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence technology, is revolutionizing how students approach homework and exams.

Developed by OpenAI in late 2021, the deep learning-based language model generates human-like responses to prompts. With a wide range of applications, one can utilize the chatbot for customer service, blog writing or a language translator.

ChatGPT sparked the interest of website and app developers and students. Its ability to create near-instantaneous detailed responses to requests sets it apart from other AI chatbots.

The AI can access thousands of online resources such as Wikipedia, blog posts, books and academic articles — hence, it can an- swer seemingly any question. As technology advances and the demands of academia increase, it is no surprise when students look for efficient and effective ways to complete their coursework and research.

ChatGPT finishes work in a fraction of the time it would take to complete it manually. ChatGPT’s capabilities of performing are no less than a passing student.

According to CNN, the new AI chatbot recently passed 4 law tests at the University of Minnesota and a business exam at the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania.

Minnesota Law School blindly scored assessments to see how well ChatGPT could generate answers on exams for the four courses. The chatbot completed 95 multiple-choice questions and 12 essay questions. It received an average grade of a C+, earning a passing mark on each test.

ChatGPT uses complex AI algorithms that help the bot fulfill unique prompts. Its users and developers can train ChatGPT on specific topics to generate content tailored to the user’s needs. This feature is useful for research projects or essays that require high expertise in a particular subject.

With the benefits of using the chatbot come controversies. Open AI founder Elon Musk mentioned, “AI will be the best or worst thing ever for humanity,” further ex- dependent research and analysis. According to Gov Tech, this situation was seen when a south Carolina professor Darren Hick mistakenly allowed one of his philosophy students to take home an exam. After receiving the exam back, it was patterns pulled from existing information on the internet. As a result, it will not always generate accurate or appropriate information, leading to misinformation and errors in its responses.
