Hello Jennifer,

I know ChatGPT is a trending AI tool that performs many specific natural language processing tasks. Many people utilize this tool to ask questions, summarize articles, and many more. As you mentioned, it may be harmful because of the possibility that it can provide wrong information to us, but I think the opposite. I think that Chat GPT can answer a wide variety of questions as well as a knowledgeable person most of the time. The data set used for training ChatGPT consists of more than 145 million dialogues scarped from various social media and online knowledge bases. Also, it cleans up such text data as spam, offensive language, low-quality content, and so on. I feel like a bigger issue of using ChatGPT consists of ethical issues, such as asking ChatGPT for article writing, homework assignments, or plagiarism. But if we utilize this search engine correctly, I believe that it’ll be a better gain for us than harm.

Great question Jennifer, I believe there is a place for artificial intelligence (AI); it is so helpful when used properly. It has so many benefits in regards to summarizing information to simplify complex content. An example of this would be summarizing articles and research papers thus making them more accessible and more digestible to understand large amounts of information. This also helps in clarifying key points to allow students to understand new material quickly. It also can be used as a supporting learning tool, have personally used it as a tutor to provide explanations and help me understand various topics. The fun part of AI is that it gives additional support outside the classroom by generating practice questions that can be used as a form of self-quizzing to help students prepare for exams and understand key concepts better. One downside I have noticed with AI and ChatGPT is verifying credibility. There is a risk of misinformation that can be based on outdated information. It is important to remain vigilant and to only use AI as a resource for clarification due to the risk of limiting critical thinking skills.
