Students from Lyon had used ChatGPT artificial intelligence to answer one of their assignments. Brut wanted to test the reliability of the tool by submitting his answers to the correction of high school teachers.
“We have an absolutely irrelevant assignment that falls into all accepted ideas, another that limits the damage a bit, yes, we would be sure… 6.“Will artificial intelligence be able to replace students in writing their homework? The reliability of the ChatGPT tool is the subject of many questions. Brut then had three teachers correct copies written by ChatGPT, at the level of a high school student.
In particular, artificial intelligence has responded to a philosophical problem. “What struck me is that obviously, there are missing quotes, there are missing transitions, it is very rigid in construction. On the other hand, what I find quite impressive all the same is that, well, the tracks are there, in fact, the great currents, the great movements…”, explains Marie Robert, teacher.
“We can make a very good copy”
“There is a structure, there is something, there are positions… Come on: 7 out of 20, to be completely honest. On the other hand, if it is fleshed out, if we add quotations, if we delete, if we put a little more delicacy, a little more nuance, a little more examples, we can make a very good copy”, she adds.
If artificial intelligence is modernizing, is that something that might scare her off as a teacher? “Already that we are in there in our modes of communication, everything is going very quickly. If we are also involved in learning, the risk is that by dint of reducing the effort, reducing the constraint, reducing the interest of the requirement, it will be complicated, in fact, to say: well no, sometimes things just have to infuse. And the most interesting reasoning, whether in terms of learning or in our intimate lives, is also reasoning that takes time and that we allow to distill.”
“So, rather than being in denial, since in any case, we are going to be caught up in this movement, rather than denial, shouldn’t we ourselves, in our teachings, ‘we take it head on and say: well, there you go, how can human intelligence be even more relevant than artificial intelligence and bring it into our classrooms?”, she concludes.
