Mar 27, 2023 at 11:25 comment added James S. Cook @Shinrin-Yoku No, to be clear, ChatGpt is too stupid to do good math. But, we're still at the start of such tools and we can expect there to be improvements. Well, on the other hand, it's already better than a certain segment of students, so we could argue for it's use with them as an "improvement". For us, for the nonmajor crowd, the issue is more with photomath-type programs which have been capable of producing nearly perfect results for about a decade now. Mathematical proof, that's too hard for the current batch of AI programs.
Mar 26, 2023 at 16:11 comment added allo I see a lot of potentials for new forms of learning. But neither in two weeks nor in the next semester. This needs more planning. And we also cannot rely on teaching students to use ChatGPT and then OpenAI locks it behind an expensive paywall. You can only allow calculcators, if anyone can get one. One also cannot require students to accept ChatGPT's ToS if they are not willing to accept them. Maybe if there would be some campus license with ToS that are GDPR compliant and checked by the legal department, what would probably also need 2+ years before they decide if it is acceptable.
Mar 26, 2023 at 12:29 comment added Vivaan Daga Are you really suggesting that ChatGpt will be able to do math better than humans? Remember that ChatGpt is a language model, it is very poor in logical reasoning. Also note that it is trained on things humans said before on the Internet so even if it gives correct proofs it was not because it came up with it but managed to search it in its ever growing database….
Mar 25, 2023 at 17:31 comment added Mahdi Majidi-Zolbanin I like what your colleague said! It's true! I would love Path One, but in reality, there is also a third possibility of computer aided writing or a computer aided mathematics where people think for themselves but give AI specific tasks to do. In this scenario, people may still tell AI to write an essay that the ministry of information may classify as improper speech.
