ChatGPT is setting new standards in the artificial intelligence world.
ChatGPT has become insanely popular over this past year. Tons of users are starting to use this platform as a tool to have their questions answered instantly. ChatGPT is popular due to its advanced technology when answering questions.
Nowadays people do not have the patience to sit and scroll through tons of websites when looking up something on Google. ChatGPT allows individuals to get a response right at their fingertips, without the hassle of looking at a bunch of websites for one simple answer.
Sophomore Morningside student Jordyn Carr had this to say about ChatGPT, “I find it very useful. I use it when I write papers to give me prompts to talk about. It also helps me understand certain concepts that weren’t explained very well in class.”
Not only does ChatGPT provide answers, it also has an option that allows for people with a slight impairment to have the responses spoken out loud to them. It can also summarize the topics or concepts from a course for students with learning disabilities.
ChatGPT also has a tool that allows you to generate AI images. You can plug in any sort of description and it will generate an image for you. These images surface frequently on social media, and can also be very helpful. For example, writers can generate images for their online articles or newspapers. Artists can also use the tool as inspiration for their own art.
Addie Harris said this, “I’ve mostly just messed around on the image generator but I can see how people can benefit from it. I find some of the images on twitter to be very funny, but also weird at the same time.”
Although many benefits come with Chat GPT for students, it raises concerns for teachers and professors. Facility is worried about the lack of academic integrity among students and it leading to the reliance on artificial intelligence instead of them coming up with their own creative ideas.
Ross Fuglsang, the journalism teacher here at Morningside, spoke about his thoughts towards students using ChatGPT and expressed, “It’s a pain in the ass.”
This response is understanding when looking at a professor’s point of view. Professors want to see students’ work that reflects their thinking and not what is coming from ChatGPT.
Overall, ChatGPT can improve content quality, save time, and is a great tool used for learning. However, if this platform is fully depended on, it can cause plagiarism issues to arise and limit creativity. How society reacts to this up-and-coming innovation will shape the future of technology.
