It's just a whole 'nother level of ability." You know, it's like going from water to steam. Stanford's Erik Brynjolfsson said, "A very senior person at OpenAI, he basically described it as a phase change. People who've seen it say it's miraculous. There are ChatGPT detectors, but they probably won't stand a chance against the upcoming new version, ChatGPT 4, which has been trained on 500 times as much writing. Princeton student says his new app helps teachers find ChatGPT cheats.They're talking about an algorithmic "watermark," an invisible flag embedded into ChatGPT's writing, that can identify its source. Our policy states that when sharing content, all users should clearly indicate that it is generated by AI 'in a way no one could reasonably miss or misunderstand' and we're already developing a tool to help anyone identify text generated by ChatGPT." "We don't want ChatGPT to be used for misleading purposes - in schools or anywhere else. OpenAI, the company that launched the program, declined "Sunday Morning"'s requests for an interview, but offered a statement: "My initial reaction to that was, are we doing this because ChatGPT exists? Or are we doing this because it's better than other things that we've already done?" she said. But Rosenzweig counters, "Our students will stop being writers, and they will become editors. Some educators are trying to figure out how to work with ChatGPT, to let it generate the first draft. It's going to be in word processing programs. Rosenzweig said, "The idea that we would ban it, is up against something bigger than all of us, which is, it's soon going to be everywhere. The Seattle and New York City school systems have banned ChatGPT so have some colleges. A machine can do the part where it puts ideas on paper, but it can't do the part where it puts your ideas on paper." When we teach writing, we're teaching people to explore an idea, to understand what other people have said about that idea, and to figure out what they think about it. But Jane Rosenzweig, director of the Writing Center at Harvard, said, "The piece I also worry about, though, is the piece about thinking. Someone using ChatGPT doesn't need to know structure or syntax or vocabulary or grammar or even spelling. No wonder ChatGPT has been called "The end of high-school English," "The end of the college essay," and "The return of the handwritten in-class essay." Some students are already using ChatGPT to cheat. "Write an English-class essay about race in 'To Kill a Mockingbird.'" Timnit Gebru visited the Digital Democracies Institute and shared with us some context and direction for the newly established Distributed AI Research Institute, of which she is the founder and executive director. Gebru said, "We should understand the harms before we proliferate something everywhere, and mitigate those risks before we put something like this out there."īut nobody may be more distressed than teachers.
