A NEW ERA: CHAT GPT

BY AARYAN DOSHI

How

The date was Nov. 30, 2022 and much of the world was absolutely stunned. The company Open AI had just released a chatbot known as Chat GPT.

But this wasn’t just a chatbot; this was the chatbot.

No one had ever witnessed anything like it before. Here was a platform that generated perfectly written essays, debugged code with utmost precision, and carried out humanlike conversations with incredible accuracy. Naturally, such technology drew both criticism and praise from researchers, teachers, and students alike. Many fear the exposure of such technology to children, citing it as a major inhibition to their development of writing and communication skills

According to Stephen Marche of the Atlantic, the creation of such an advanced writing system takes away from the individuality that is often elicited from human writing. Now, he says “that entire tradition is about to be disrupted from the ground up.” Students from all ages have utilized the platform to complete homework, write essays, and receive answers to their questions immediately. In some areas, the issue has become so serious that many districts have taken it upon themselves to restrict the website on school computers.

But does this really help? Will students inevitably find out about it anyways?

Princeton University graduate student, Edward Tian, believes he has found a way to combat the harmful effects that Chat GPT poses. His platform, known as Chat GPT Zero, uses an AI algorithm to determine whether text has been GPT generated or student generated. The app has gained popularity over the last month with Tian receiving comments from people all over the world regarding his new app.

Many from the technology sector see Chat GPT as an asset to ease the boring parts of their jobs, allowing them to focus on the more stimulating aspects. To understand these benefits more clearly, I decided to interview MVHS alum ‘21 Ria Doshi, who is currently pursuing a computer science degree. On a daily basis, she utilizes the platform to write short, uninteresting pieces of code, removing the monotony in her research.

“I know that many are quick to criticize Chat GPT for disrupting education, but I don’t think people recognize the way in which it can revolutionize societies of the future,” Doshi said.

“As a researcher, we spend hours searching for details to improve or debug code. Chat GPT is like communicating with another person to solve a problem, with more minds contributing, a solution is reached faster. While people’s concerns about Chat GPT are justified, it is nowhere close to writing like humans yet, with a monotonic style that is easy to distinguish,” she said.

It is quite clear that Chat GPT has both positive and negative effects on our daily lives. Out of curiosity, I thought it would be interesting to interview Chat GPT itself … Let’s see what AI thinks about AI!

RN: Do you pose a threat to education for humans?

Chat GPT: “As a language model, I am not capable of posing any kind of threat. I am a tool that can assist with various tasks, including education. However, it is important to note that the use and implementation of AI in education should be carefully considered and evaluated to ensure that it is beneficial and does not negatively impact the learning experience of humans.”

RN: Should you be allowed in schools?

Chat GPT: “It is ultimately up to the discretion of schools and educators to decide whether or not to use ChatGPT or any other AI-based tools in their classrooms. However, it is important to consider the potential benefits and drawbacks of using such technology in education.

ChatGPT and other language models can be useful for providing personalized feedback to students, generating practice exercises, and assisting with research and writing tasks. However, it is important to consider the potential for bias in the model’s responses, as well as the need for students to develop critical thinking and problemsolving skills that may not be fully supported by an AI tool. Ultimately, it is important for educators to be aware of the limitations of AI and to use it as a supplement to, rather than a replacement for, traditional teaching methods.”

RN: How can you be of use in the technology sector?

Chat GPT: “ChatGPT and other language models like it can be used in a variety of ways in the technology space, some examples are:

Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Natural Language Understanding (NLU): ChatGPT can be used to improve the accuracy and efficiency of NLP and NLU tasks, such as text summarization, sentiment analysis, and question answering.

Text generation: ChatGPT can be used to generate creative writing, product descriptions, or even scripts for movies and TV shows.

Dialogue systems: ChatGPT can be used to build conversational agents, such as chatbots, that can interact with users in a natural and human-like way.

Language Translation: GPT-based models can be used to generate high-quality translations of text from one language to another.

Automated content creation: GPT-based models can be used to generate various types of content like articles, product descriptions, and more, which can save time and resources for companies and businesses.

Research and Development: GPTbased models can be used in research and development to generate new ideas, hypotheses, and experiments.”

However, it’s important to note that AI-based tools like ChatGPT should be used as a supplement to, rather than a replacement for, human intelligence and creativity.

Well, you heard it from the master itself! Even Chat GPT believes that it should be used with caution. However, it is also important to utilize the technology effectively so that humans can focus on tasks that require higher levels of intelligence.
