Type in any prompt or question and you will receive an eloquently worded answer that's accurate. A Queensland Department of Education spokesperson said it had blocked ChatGPT for students on the department's network until it could be fully "assessed for appropriateness". Griffith Institute for Educational Research director Leonie Rowan said ChatGPT also had the potential to improve learning outcomes for disadvantaged children who did not have access to tutors. "As part of their policies and guidelines, it is also important for schools to educate students about the ethical and academic implications of using AI to complete assignments." Professor Rowan said there was no evidence that the emergence of ChatGPT would lead to a "tsunami of cheating".
