The Disruptive Potential of ChatGPT in Education

Advanced technology has transformed the education sector in past decades. The introduction of an artificial intelligence base model, ChatGpt, has a significant negative and positive impact on students' learning. Its ability to generate human-like responses to questions has made it hard for educators to differentiate between human written answers and AI-generated essays. ChatGPT may never be the same again. Below, I will explore ChatGPT's negative impact on the education sector and changed students' way of learning.

One of the disruptive ways of ChatGPT in education, it can lead to a culture of academic malpractices. With the ability to generate instant answers to complex tasks, students can use the shortcut to complete their assignments. This puts to test the integrity and standards set in the education sector and devalues the hard work and efforts put in by those who do the homework by themselves.

Secondly, ChatGPT threatens the education sector by disrupting the development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills. As a computer tool, CahtGPT relies on various internet data to generate its responses to prompts. However, it can be imperative to generate ideas from different perspectives, but it leads to a lack of creativity and originality in students' work. When students rely on ChatGPT to get answers to their assignment questions, they fail to acquire research and critical thinking skills from the homework.

Thirdly, AI education software can be expensive to design and maintain, putting them out of reach for many marginalized schools and students from humble backgrounds. This disadvantages students who already finds it hard to access quality education due to unavoidable circumstances, it will be a further nightmare if AI technology is introduced in the classroom. In addition, the adoption of ChatGPTin the education sector would worsen the inequities experienced in education globally.

Another significant negative impact of ChatGPT in the education sector is the loss of jobs by teachers. As more students opt for AI to learn, teachers will be at high risk of being flagged off, and human interaction in the classroom will reduce. This could lead to reduced person-to-person interaction and less effective delivery and comprehension for students.

AI tools like ChatGPt give feedback depending on the data they are fed on. If the data used is incomplete or dated back in ancient times, the responses will also be the same. For example, ChatGpt data dates back before 2021, so its responses are from before 2021. Moreover, ChatGPT is the potential to give inaccurate results or be biased. It will give wrong responses if asked a question requiring current statistics.

Finally, ChatGPT can breach personal privacy and data security. It leads to privacy breaches and data misuse and seriously impacts students' safety and well-being. ChatGPT responds by using millions of available data online, so student's personal information may be at high risk of being collected and shared without their consent.

In conclusion, as much as ChatGPT has high chance to revolutionize the way we teach and learn, it also presents significant problems that must be considered. We must understand the negative disruptive effects of ChatGPT in education to strategize how to curb these menace and ensure that the adoption of AI in education is effective rather than undermining the educational process.
