Wikipedia says (en.wikipedia.org), “ChatGPT is a generative artificial intelligence chatbot developed by OpenAI and released on November 30, 2022.” For one, ChatGPT can generate an essay for you and nobody else would know! (image from bigthink.com)
Yes, but that would be
cheating yourself in the first place!
Do you want to
learn how to write, or do you want to just submit a paper or two so that you
can graduate?
We have quite a
few misunderstandings of Artificial Intelligence (AI) such as represented by
ChatGPT:
“Study Reveals That ChatGPT Erodes Critical
Thinking Skills” (emphasis supplied) – Ron
Lim, (GMA Lifestyle, gmanetwork.com/lifestyle).
I writer & editor say that that is not correct! What it erodes is Creative
Thinking – because you allow the machine to think and write for you!
“A study conducted
by researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Media Lab
has shown that students who used OpenAI's ChatGPT to write SAT essays … consistently
underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels.” Of course! They
learned to copy, not to think for themselves. Copycats, not Creators.
“Study Reveals That ChatGPT Erodes Critical Thinking
Skills” – Ron Lim, (GMA Lifestyle, gmanetwork.com/lifestyle):
“There's a
prevailing perception that the use of AI (artificial intelligence) means a
person is less competent, and now a study has come out that may just prove that
that perception is actually reality.”
Reality:
AI is a choice – and we cannot choose for other people.
“A study conducted
by researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Media Lab
has shown that students who used OpenAI's ChatGPT to write SAT essays ended up
with the lowest brain engagement and ‘consistently underperformed at neural,
linguistic, and behavioral levels. If you use AI like ChatGPT, you lose your
originality, or at least do not develop it. Those who used AI also eventually
indeed up copy-pasting by the end of the study.”
When you
use ChatGPT, you are simply a copycat, not an original – do you like that?
I say now,
paraphrasing Shakespeare: “With ChatGPT, Frailty, thy name is human!”
“Meanwhile, those
who used just their brains, as well as those who used Google search, were more
engaged and curious and were satisfied with their essays.”
Yes, but it’s so
much easier to use ChatGPT!
Those who use
ChatGPT to produce the essay or story they want or need are not using their
heads, only their hands!
But – This Editor
In Chief says, “The only way to learn how to write is to use your head, not
your hands!
In the title, I
mentioned Multiple Intelligences (MI), and
here is the MI list: 1. Bodily-Kinesthetic
Intelligence (“Body Smart”),
2. Creative Intelligence (“Thinking Smart”), added by FAH,
3. Existential Intelligence (“Life Smart”),
4. Interpersonal Intelligence (“People Smart”),
5. Intrapersonal Intelligence (“Self Smart”),
6. Mathematical-Logical Intelligence (“Number/Reasoning Smart”),
7. Musical Intelligence (“Music Smart”),
8. Naturalist Intelligence (“Nature Smart”),
9. Spatial Intelligence (“Image Smart”), and
10. Verbal-Linguistic Intelligence (“Word Smart”).
There are 10
different ways being original. Of course it’s much easier to just be a copycat!@517
