There’s no way for teachers to figure out if students are using ChatGPT to cheat, OpenAI says in new back-to-school guide::AI detectors used by educators to detect use of ChatGPT don’t work, says OpenAI.

    “Why learn basic math if calculators exist”

    If you are spending your time writing and solving equations, and many students currently are being ‘taught’ that way, you are being taught math incorrectly. This technology disrupts that same principal on the writing and regurgitation of information side of learning. As an excercise for ChatGPT, I’m going to ask it to outline an essay on the fluid dynamics of low silica vulcansim and see what it comes up with. The exact prompt I’m going to use is. “Hi Chat GPT. I’m begining the process of writing an essay on the flue dynamics of low silica vulcanism. I realize this may require some very domain specific knowledge, so I’ll be providing you with information and asking you to clarify sections later. In this first attempt, I’d like you to cover the issue in the broadest way, but please get highly specific in sections that I should cover. I would like a high amount of detail in this outline. Please also give me key words and phrases to search for for each sub-point of the outline.”

    Here is ChatGPTs response:

    —end—

    I don’t necessarily know what the right answer is, but I know that the wrong answer is to stick our (as a teacher of sorts) collective heads in the sand and pretend that this isn’t a game changing technology for most sectors. I tell my students and mentees to absolute use ChatGPT. That response took ChatGPT about 15 seconds. Its probably more than good enough for me to write a decent essay on.

    If you aren’t using ChatGPT or teaching your students to use this technology, then you are doing them a disservice.

      Being able to asses if the answer you got from the AI tool is reasonable relies on your ability to understand how to get to that answer.

      And, believe it or not, there will be times when a person might not have access to an AI tool to answer their questions, and they might need to be able to come up with their own answer independently.
