"I had to Google what it was, so no

ChatGPT is powered by GPT-3.5, a language model developed by OpenAI. It works by using a deep neural network with 175 billion parameters, which are weights that the model has learned from diverse internet text. During training, the model learns patterns, grammar, and facts from a wide range of sources. When you provide input, the model generates a response based on that learned knowledge. It doesn't have consciousness or understanding; it predicts the next word or sequence of words given the context of the input.

You often find companies that use things like Amazon mechanical Turk and webhooks shift to Genie / OpenAI. Jobs that required you to look for text across social media channels is well as running MTurk to For example see what people are saying about this product or this medicine, And then analyse the results and put some context to them - this can now we done with Genie, Not just as good as a graduate working from home but loads better and loads faster

I use it every day for work and for learning new things at home.

For those who don’t known it’s something called a large language model. Basically imagine them stuffing the whole internet and the knowledge contained in a box and making it available to all.

When you ask it something it predicts the next set of words to reply, which gives the impression of being able to chat about anything you want to know about.

There are loads of these tools about now, expect even more next year!

ChatGPT has indeed become very popular since its launch. The model has been widely used by people for various purposes, including drafting emails, writing code, creating conversational agents, and more. The popularity of ChatGPT is a testament to its capabilities and usefulness. However, the high demand for the model has also led to some challenges, such as limited availability during peak times and concerns about misuse. OpenAI is actively working on addressing these issues and is exploring options to make ChatGPT more accessible to users.

ChatGPT, the current version, spits out a lot of generic stuff that barely skims the surface. We read really crap assignments time and again, generated by students punching essay titles into it. It generates exactly the same structure to anything with "essay" in the title and it's absolutely useless at writing laboratory reports from data collected by students. Useless.

I'm currently assessing academic applications and I can spot a ChatGPT personal statement within 2 sentences. They're a load of bollocks. Total generic, meaningless bollocks.

I work with engineers who have very specific knowledge that isn't widely understood.

They were glad they were retirement age as it explained it perfectly in a succinct understandable way

Its like anything with new technology, people are DESPERATE for it to be full of faults so they can justify not liking things progressing.

I can assure you that ChatGPT does not churn out good quality essays or academic personal statements. I'm sat reading some now and it's just generic stuff. An AI generator cannot elucidate how an applicant can demonstrate concrete examples of their leadership or communication skills because it hasn't got a clue about what that applicant has done. When the applicant comes to interview, they have to be able to speak about their experiences convincingly.

As for lab reports, if you shove in the lab report title and give it some data, it generates mainly generic stuff that does not address the marking criteria other than very superficially. It's fine for regurgitating facts but not for interpreting nuance.

That's my professional experience with it. I'm not disputing your professional experience.

I agree with some of what you have wrote here but your students are not using it correctly. They’re likely asking it a question “do this essay on ….” This will produce generic crap. Give the AI a list of variables and ask it to include those, it should give a more precise output. Additionally, once you have the output, you can then feed that back into the AI with further variables for an even more unique output.

So far my assessment of AI is that it's "good enough" - in what I do - if you don't give a crap about quality or meaning, you just need a bunch of words.

The internet will be filled with such crap in fairly short order, and people will likely cry out for quality and meaning.

If this technology is set to put me out of business, it better up its game.

Yep! But apparently I don't know what it is I'm reading before my very eyes, Frida

It all has the same structure too....

This essay will address.....

Here's a paragraph or two about some of what it said at the start.

In conclusion, I've just written an essay entitled "Whatever the title of the essay" was.

Yep it's just not good enough. I mean I can tell the difference between those who have no clue and those that do. Even if I take those with more of a clue, it just doesn't bridge complex ideas well and there is a disjointed flow to the information I find.

OP, what do you use ChatGPT for? It's clear that it can spit out factual information reasonably well, although it has some serious biases. We had great fun with it refusing to generate anything where it referred to me (the female of the species) as the driver of a car. When it was told only 1 of a married couple could drive, it consistently generated and regenerated stuff about the man driving. My husband doesn't have a licence. It's awash with such things.

I'm judging applicants for academic scholarship awards written by people who should know better. What I'm telling you is that unless the applicant makes significant effort to rewrite what it generates, it generates a load of genetic crap and it generates near enough identical crap for everyone who asks it the same question.

I've already explained that it does not generate good essays for people who paste in essay titles. It completely fabricates source citations and bibliographies but if you're trying to get it to do the work for you, it is actually more time consuming to go through and work out what's accurate and what's not and to replace the inaccurate bits. You'd be far better off just doing the work yourself in the first place.

I don't want to give degrees to people who paste essay titles into a computer and think they can get a first by copy/pasting the response. Just like I won't overlook people who used essay mills or who plagiarised by copying from books or off Wikipedia. It's very obvious to people who know their job.

What it meant to say is that you have piles - of leaves in your front garden. Not piles as in haemorrhoids.

It's also quite bad at colloquial language or where the same word, spelled the same way, can have different meanings in different contexts. It is also VERY American. So the leaves are actually in your front yard. Not garden
