26% of students polled by Pew, age 13-17 years old, used ChatGPT to
help dop their homework. Students differend as to whether they though
that it was proper to use the tool to write papers, as apposed to doing
only research.
All sorts of ethical problems remain, and are not necessarily addressed by local
school systems.
"But as Khari Johnson reported last year for CalMatters, there is little state regulation or oversight for AI implementation in California school districts. And while using these tools can lead to improved efficiency for, say, teachers grading papers, it has also been shown to give students grades that are inconsistent with the quality of their work."
As I have mentioned before (again, and again, and again...) this AI
product does not know what a moral-ethical model is, or what judgment
is, or how to critique its conclusions (which is part of the basic methodology
of human problem solving).
If every moron, of every level in school, can enter the same query into an
AI tool, and get the same answer, how does the query result reflect any of the
thinking skills of the student?
I would offer the same criticism, if ChatGPT were given all Christian commentaries
on the Bible, and asked to formulate a reasonable question about how to interpret
a text of Scripture. I would offer the same criticism of a pastor/teacher, who used
ChatGPT to formulate sermons/lessons, without having the personal judgment to
evaluate what the search engine found.
