Not @niknah and I’m gonna guess they think it’s the coming lord and saviour. But it will be a part of technology going forward so kids should be taught what it is and isn’t.
It’s a cross between Siri and predictive text. It guesses and makes up things in an authoritative voice. So kids / people need to be taught not to trust it.
It’s basically a blender of the entire internet. It’ll just as likely tell you the pyramids were built by aliens because there are more words on the internet written about that then about the actual construction. Ask about any notable historical figure mainly known by their last name and their accomplishment and it’ll make up a random first name and fictional biography about them. Because all it’s doing is making sentences/paragraphs/stories from their component parts weighted by other words that are likely to go near them.
It’s not going to cure cancer or even write a Wikipedia article correctly, but it might actually do fictional writers out of a job.
It’s also not a search engine or an arbiter of truth. I also think it and other ML models need to be taught to help our kids understand its limitations and uses. This generation of ML models make things up whole cloth. Need to push back on the stupid myth that it is a search engine.
Critical thinking is what needs to be taught. It applies to all sources. We’d have a lot less cookers, nutters and politicians if it was taught at school.
