There's so much to legitimately worry about with AI, that we often lose sight of its potential good.
The moment you become truly aware of how often ai is incorrect is the moment you are ready to use it properly.
I do hope we have started a long study for the short and long term influence of llms on critical thinking skills.
AI juste needs grounding. If you ask gpt4 to look online before answering you (giving it a database of reliable info), it will always be correct. With this technique AI can be a great teacher.
gpt4 is not capable of searching online. It's trained on a fixed database with no internet access.
OpenAI gpt4 can't?!? I am fearly certainly it can, considering I use this feature daily.
I'm worried about ideological capture. Since teachers are individuals, it's fairly hard to uniformly push extreme views - there's always gonna be some resistance.
That no longer exists with AI. Whoever produces it has full control over what it says, knows and "thinks".
