Is chat GPT beneficial to students?
Well, if you look at the pros and cons list below, there are many more cons than pros, but that doesn’t determine the value of the points, so let’s take a closer look at the points. One of the bigger issues that should be discussed more is the lack of media literacy and emotional intelligence it is creating in our generation, especially with apps like TikTok. It’s becoming less and less common. ChatGPT contributes to this in stuff like English classes where you have to read an article and pull information out and organize it in a way that makes sense. Due to ChatGPT, students lack this skill and therefore need help understanding how to comprehend simple articles. They also lack emotional intelligence since ChatGPT understands things for them; they don’t have to identify emotions in writing, which not only translates to their reading comprehension but their social skills as well.
Pros
- It can help students better understand the topic they are learning
- It can help with clarifying questions on homework as well as stuff like “How do I do this equation in my math homework”
- It improves efficiency in the workplace
- It can improve productivity by automating certain tasks
- It can give you ideas for whatever you ask it
Cons
- It is commonly used to cheat and get out of writing essays, doing assignments, and even answering test questions
- Students don’t have to understand the subject matter to pass so people graduate without knowing important things
- It creates a dependency on technology
- It creates a lack of emotional intelligence and media illiteracy
- It can spread misinformation
- It has limited knowledge and if the creators of Chat GPT are biased toward anything then that may reflect the site’s writing capabilities
- It doesn’t require creativity therefore imposing a lack of creativity on its users
- The risk of plagiarism
What happens when your caught using ChatGPT by your teacher? we have asked teachers around the building an here is what they have to say about it
After interviewing teachers, they normally will run work through AI checkers a few times if suspected of using ChatGPT or other AI. What happens when someone is caught using AI: home is contacted, and you receive a zero (with an opportunity to redo the assignment depending on the assignment). As for teachers’ opinions on AI, they vary. Some teachers say they love it and use it to do boring, tedious tasks to help with their day-to-day lives (creating recipes, creating workout routines, etc.), whereas others say they dislike ChatGPT or are neutral about saying there are many pros and cons or that they dislike how it prevents creativity.
