I was trying to do a memory test to see how far back 3.5 could recall information from previous prompts, but it really doesn’t seem to like making pseudorandom seeds. 😆

Consider keeping school the one place in a child’s life where they aren’t bombarded with AI-generated content.
In a learning age band so bespoke, and education professionals so highly paid and resourced, I can’t imagine why this would be an attractive option.
Maybe we let professionals decide what tool is best for their field
Hey, really appreciated. Having random potentially uneducated, inexperienced people chime in on what they think I’m doing wrong in my classroom based on the tiniest snippet of information really shouldn’t matter, but it’s disheartening nontheless.
While I take their point, I also wouldn’t walk into a garage and tell someone what they’re doing wrong with a vehicle, or tell a doctor I ran into on the streets that they’re misdiagnosing people based on a comment I overheard. Yet, because I work with children, I get this all the time. So, again, appreciated.
I definitely get that. I do think it’s a little different, though, because every single human being has been a child, while no human has been a car. We tend to have opinions on education because the prevailing wisdom often failed us during our own school years.
I don’t think that it’s totally unreasonable to expect some amount of input by other people who’ve been through the education system.
As long as the content is manually overseen before being handed to students I can’t see why it would matter.
A school question is a school question no matter who or what made it.
I use it as a brainstorming tool. I haven’t had a single question make it as-is to a student’s worksheet. If the tool can’t even count to 20 successfully, I’m not sure how anyone could trust it to generate meaningful questions for an ELA program.
Yet people claim it writes all their programming code…
Well, it’s terrible at factual things and counting, and even when it comes to writing code it will often hallucinate APIs and libraries that don’t exist - But when given very limited-scope, specific-domain problems with enough detail and direction, I’ve found it to be fairly competent as a rubber ducky for programming.
So far I’ve found ChatGPT to be most useful for:
Yes. Don’t be that one teacher who always has one multiple choice question that has no right answer.
