agree. i helped my kid write an essay using chatGPT in minutes! i could never write that in such a short time..

How is that different from asking parents family teachers

So this is an issue. If a kid has a home computer or tablet, they can access the site at home, but a kid that does not have those tools will be unable and therefore have less equitable outcome.

How exactly are they prevent them from using it for homework?

You mean like the internet?

So kids couldn't do that with google before? lol

Well that'll work 🤡🌎

You don't say..

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Why not use ChatGPT to identify if something was created using ChatGPT TurnItIn

Let's see how it'll work in a few years!! Maybe Chatbot will make us change the lessons gave on the schools in the last 40 years ...

It's beginning.....A.I. is going to touch every industry and then Government will ultimately make a decision....

The ratio here showing their ignorance of AI

Maybe they should be allowed to use it and also be taught other skills that will help them be valued members of the community. It’s not just having information. It’s using it appropriately. We don’t want them to grow up to mimic the House Republicans, after all.

This didn’t take long

this is lazy, first-level thinking. Ban google as well, then.

getting software to do the work for you…this will trend towards some very unintelligent people. Even Bill Gates had strict limits on his kids using computers. This is cheating by the way, according teachers I spoke with.

It’s like when my teacher took away my calculator watch in the 80s. Why not embrace the inevitable?

Translation: Teacher unions mortified about losing their jobs by an AI that's smarter than them.

Forced measures on par with 🇨🇳. They are scared to death their positions of power are in question. And rightfully so. But then what is power. Education. This technology is necessary to understand as the rest of world won’t ban. Will continue to leave us behind. What a shame!!

Public schools prepare kids for an economy that hasn’t been around for 75 years. Ai is far more valuable for a child’s education than public school.

you ban It you boost It

AI is here!

so if chat GPT becomes standard like google did in the 90s, how do you think that will shape schools? do you think schooling is going to change from a forced memorization study to a more ''this is how to get through life''? lets hope so. maybe the next gen will learn what matters

Y not evolve education, studies, and exam methodology rather then blocking it

Duh

AI revolution

All they need to do is give the teacher a web portal submit questions, chatGPT will just refuse to answer. If the student can still bypass the block, they need to be challenged more and moves up a grade.

no use. kids could still access it from their home

We truly are living in the future, imagine what amazing things will be possible with AI!

Do the liberals hate the unity surrounding Damar Hamlin?

There are already many AI tools that exists (even before chatgpt) that can help students with their homeworks and assignments, so banning any particular tool won't help.

So every student with Smartphone or similar privilege or simple VPN knowledge can easily hoodwink the system?😂

We may not all understand now, but this is basically like banning books.

Ahah, good luck trying to enforce it. It’s already here and you can’t just stop people from using it. It’s a tool and students will always find a workaround to use it

Lol

but still kids can access it on their smartphones🤔

ChatGPT : invloed op onderwijs.

Basically AIPudgys becoming a blue chip is inevitable

So in other words … ChatGPT will only be available to students that can afford home broadband or Starbucks?

This can’t be stopped. I sat with my 7th grader the other night and we used ChatGPT to help us both explain and learn his algebra homework. You can’t ban tech progress.

AI and ethics need to be monitored

New York City schools ban access to ChatGPT over fears of cheating and misinformationChatGPT has launched AI-generated writing into the mainstream, and has the potential to disrupt the education sector.

Ban google too 😄 ban access to ChatGPT but not ban access to extension: I get it, but still a very short term solution.
