Many believe that artificial intelligence will harm student learning enormously due to its ease of use and reach. Others argue that it should generate interest in them and create better responses with an easier understanding for most.
On the one hand, ChatGPT was released in 2019 by Sam Altam. Since then, early adopters have leveraged this technology to simplify tasks and reduce overtime. However, due to its efficiency and accessibility, itn has become widely used for daily tasks by people for all ages. Some use it for homework and others for expressing theory emotions as if it were a psychologist. As a result, many companies have developed their own version of artificial intelligence as a tool to be more productive and save money by optimizing workflows, which has sometimes led to workforce reductions.
On the other hand, even though ChatGPT has been an excellent tool to be more productive, get more work done on less time and being mostly useful for most folks, in terms of education on lower levels such as high school, AI use should be limited. A report from MIT said that children from 12 to 16 years old that have used this technology once are more likely to used again and again until they pretty much don’t do anything but typing on the computer and submitting the document. Consequently, not only because of the fact that Gen Z has became lazier and has got less concentration due to fast content consuming apps such as TikTok but also that with a tool like ChatGPT they are in danger of not to develop the requiered skills to succed in life.
As a takeaway, anybody capable of use this technology should be able to acknowledge the risks and advantages of it. In terms of education in children, parents should pay attention to their kids carefully and teach them to use this tools as a extension of its capacity and not as a “make everything for me” tool.
