Until the TD exercises. We no longer present ChatGPT, the artificial intelligence that scares many teachers. Not all obviously, since a teacher from the Institut Polytechnique de Paris decided to integrate the system with one objective: the learning of his students. Antonio Casilli teaches sociology to engineering school students “at master 1 level”, he specifies on his Facebook post. His idea ? Asking his students to use ChatGPT to teach them how to verify the information provided by the tool “and revise the basics of sociology through a phase of bibliographic work and sending the entire conversation for evaluation”. An exercise 100% based on ChatGPT Thus in TD, the students had to embark on a ChatGPT Challenge, "as I have already had Wikipedia challenges done, where the students had to feed Wikipedia pages", specifies Antonio Casilli for whom ChatGPT is not a tool. cheating but can be a learning tool. 30 minutes to ask questions to ChatGPT “to generate a conversation that repeats what was said in class the week before” and which requires them to have understood and “to ask the right questions to get the right answers”; 20 minutes then to work on the bibliography of the text then to check the veracity of the answers of ChatGPT. Students relieved On the student side, after the many bans on using it in higher education, the use of ChatGPT can be difficult to assume. Not among the students of Antonio Casilli: “There was a certain relief, not having to lie by saying that they had never used the tool. But they were also relieved when I mentioned it because their teachers are sometimes suspicious in other contexts. I know that some people, who write code in particular, have a hard time understanding it, because when they ask him for code, ChatGPT gives them huge errors. » They also know that other exercises will be offered to them. “Use different prompts to get the same answer, or answers that look very similar, to see what consensus is and what consensus knowledge is; or give them any scientific text post 2021 and see how from different prompts ChatGPT is able to reproduce it”, lists the teacher. “If before we used the calculator, the processors, we can use ChatGPT” He tells us: “ChatGPT is not in itself revolutionary, the AI just offers to generate texts without explaining why. It is excellent for improvising, for formatting text or translation, but not for a factual search for information. On the other hand, these are features that other software allowed to do before. » The sociology teacher, "old enough to [se] use Google or Wikipedia", has integrated the tool into his practice with his students for a simple reason: "You shouldn't pretend to be in a world who works with his brain only. I work with the tools that the students and I have. If before we used the calculator, the processors, we can use ChatGPT to teach. » --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Saluti, 380° [...] P.S.: adesso chi sa bene il francese e l'inglese per favore ci elenca gli errori di traduzione che /deformano/ quanto scritto nell'articolo, perché io ho l'impressione che ce ne siano P.P.S.: ...e sì, usare Lingva Translate (https://lingva.ml/) è un ottimo strumento didattico per mettere alla prova le proprie competenze linguistiche P.P.P.S.: eh certo, 'mo manca _drammaticamente_ un /proxy/ anonimizzante per ChatGPT ;-) -- 380° (Giovanni Biscuolo public alter ego) «Noi, incompetenti come siamo, non abbiamo alcun titolo per suggerire alcunché» Disinformation flourishes because many people care deeply about injustice but very few check the facts.
