This AI Can Do Schoolwork 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.Image credit: OpenAI #artificialintelligence #chatbot #ChatGPT #models #languagemodels #school #schoolwork 

Lunch Worker, and her Metal Worker Husband, Create Custom School Cart For Child With DwarfismA lunch worker at a school noticed a child with dwarfism who was struggling with his old cart. Enedelia Mottram described Julian Worsham’s cart as ’being held together by duct tape and mainly consisted of an upside-down milk crate on wheels’. Julian used the cart to get food in the cafeteria, since he couldn’t easily reach things.Enedelia decided to talk to her husband James, who was a custom metal builder. The couple then proceeded to create a new and improved metal cart with handle bar grips, a matching stool so Julian could see the food at the cafeteria. In addition, the cart was also customized and had a personalized license plate for the child.“They took the time to get those license plates with his name, which is just like, they just really put a lot of heart into it. So when I saw it, the first thing I saw was actually a picture of James and his team who made the cart and I cried. It’s just such a sweet thing,” said Heather Worsham, Julian’s mother.#Dwarfism #Kindness #school #cafeteriaImage credit: Enedelia Mottram
