Well, if you’re looking for a machine that can easily churn out an essay, of course. Tech company OpenAI released ChatGPT, an AI chatbot that can easily generate school essays for any grade level.
The software’s language model can also answer open-ended analytical questions, and write different kinds of literature such as jokes, poems, stories, and even a script for a YouTube video.
The developers of this AI also made sure that it can create computer code. This machine is now a one-stop shop for homework for both lower-level and tertiary-level assignments, yikes.
The rise of this development in AI can be detrimental to school curriculums, according to writing coach and founder of Crush the College Essay Peter Laffin.
"The introduction of new artificial intelligence technologies into schools that enables students to auto-generate essays has the capacity to blow up our entire writing education curriculum," he shared with Fox News.
While it can force teachers to change up their syllabi, students having easy access to tools like ChatGPT can just submit generated essays without internalizing what they’ve learned from class.
The sad reality is, with an AI as good as the previously mentioned chatbot, teachers won’t be able to spot the difference. "The more easily available this is for younger students, the more problems this will create," Laffin added.
